Bahamian Brewery and Beverage Co. has announced the start of the 2014 sculling season, as well as their partnership with Eleazor 'Barber J' Johnson and the first sculling event to be held at the St. Valentine's Day Massacre, set for February 15 and 16, in the waters of Montagu Bay.
"The St. Valentine's regatta is a great opportunity to showcase all things Bahamian, especially the Bahamian sport of sculling," noted Lynden Johnson, Sales and Marketing Manager at Bahamian Brewery and Beverage Co. "At the St. Valentine's regatta, there will be sloop sailing with our 'E' Class boats, Sands, Sands Light, Strong Back and High Rock, and indeed - the 'Sands Man in the Boat' sculling race."
The 'Sands Man in the Boat' sculling schedule for 2014 starts with the St. Valentine's regatta in February, and then there will be the National Family Island Regatta in George Town, Exuma in April, Mangrove Cay Homecoming in May; Long Island in June, Abaco in July, West End, Grand Bahama in September, and finally the sculling championship in November - to be held this year in New Providence.
Last year's sculling champion was Clayton Bain, who became a two-time champion. Dennis Fox from Salt Pond, Long Island took second place, and Clay Moxey, winner of the National Family Island Regatta sculling race, was third.
The brewery has been extremely successful in its mission to revitalize the sport of sculling, and Johnson invites all sailing and sculling fans to come out to the first event of the sculling season, at the St. Valentine Day Massacre on February 16.
"It's very nice to partner with Bahamian Brewery and Beverage on the sculling race as it's something new and people look forward to coming out and competing for bragging rights," said Eleazor Johnson, organizer of the St. Valentine's Day Massacre. "I enjoy working with the brewery team very much and look forward to working with them in the future when it comes to sailing and sculling."
