M.J.QUINN UKFSC 2012
Win For West Yorkshire
Peter Crowther and his crew came out on top after a
tough competition with 25 other yachts to win the M.J.Quinn UK
Firefighters Sailing Challenge 2012. With the strongest wind
strengths prevailing in the Solent since the event began in 2004, Peter
demonstrated that he had the skills to get the best from his yacht and
crew in the worst of conditions. It was a close run though as last years
winner Mick Stead, from Hampshire, was just one point behind. A
blow by blow report of the event can be found by following

The Cowes Yacht Haven again provided excellent
facilities for crews and hosted two superb Gala evenings in its Event
Centre. Manager Ian Gregory and his staff are highly commended for
ensuring that our visiting crews had a thoroughly enjoyable and
memorable time. Christie Harrison and Hampshire based band The
Kicks provided the entertainment.
The M.J.QUINN UK Firefighters Sailing Challenge
2013 will commence on the 22nd April 2013 under the control of its
new London Fire Brigade based organising committee. Led by regular
