Shoveler, 52, wins the 2016 Little Garrett Cup
Five boats started the 2016 Acheson Trophy, Seaswift, Gannett, Knot, Shoveler and Phoenix at 11 a.m. on Sunday 3rd July. At the start there was a light wind, which freshened throughout the race, being significantly stronger by about 2pm. Phoenix and Seaswift were early leaders, but were overtaken before long, the rest of the fleet gaining advantage by going through the creeks. Seaswift lost more way and was overtaken by all. Knot suffered an equipment failure and had to retire. Shoveler, with Richard Keane at the helm was the eventual winner, with Phoenix helmed by Lizzi Thistlethwayte a worthy second. Gannet came in third.
