May 25th, 26th and 27th saw the 33rd Foxy's Wooden Boat Regatta, held in Great Harbour Jost Van Dyke. This year the College participated by entering its traditional wooden sloops: "Moonbeam" and "Youth Instructor".  

Governor David Pearey teamed up with traditional boat captain Valentine Hodge (husband of Dr. Christine Hodge, Associate Vice President, HLSCC), and managed to capture First place honours. Crew also on "Moonbeam" were HLSCC Math professor Mr. Earl Henry and HLSCC History student Karon Brown. Governor Pearey and Captain Hodge found the Regatta not only a fun experience but a good opportunity to practice for the upcoming Sloop Shootout against the Chief Minister during August Festival.

Second place honours in the Regatta went to "Youth Instructor" which was captained by HlSCC Marine Science Professor and veteran sloop sailor Dr. Liana Jarecki with a mixed crew of local and visiting sailors.

The Sloops were assisted during the regatta by the College's newest support vessel "Red Arrow" a 20 ft. classic wooden power boat built in 1970 by the late Edwie Hodge and donated to the College by the Hon. Minister of Communication and Works Elmore Stoutt and the Dept of Education and Culture. Al Frazer, Marine Technician who along with Geoffrey Brooks, Maintenance Supervisor at the Centre for Applied Marine Studies at HLSCC, was quoted as saying "The Red Arrow is the perfect support boat for our work with the Sloops. She is not only well suited for towing and transfer of personnel and equipment, she is easy to maintain and a classic wooden boat in her own right."
