In a bid to revive the sport of "sculling" in the Bahamas, Bahamian Brewery & Beverage Company built four more boats named after their products. During the 25th 'Catch Me If You Can' St Valentine's Massacre in Montagu Bay, the boats were officially christened. Winning the first race was the team of Sam Brown and Donald Bastian on the Sands Light. They were followed by the team of Jason Turnquest and Lyle Rolle on 'Sands,' while Daniel Knowles and Patrick sailed the 'High Rock' to third place. James 'Jimmy' Sands, who contracted Sheldon Gibson to build the boats, said he was impressed with the outcome of their initial efforts and he's looking forward to the continuation of the sailing competition. The 12-foot boats will be used in a fundraiser for materials to assist Gibson in building a few more boats. The fundraiser will be held in Lake Killarney. Then over the Easter holiday weekend, Bahamian Brewery & Beverage Company will take the boats to be featured in the homecoming celebrations in Rock Sound, Eleuthera. They will also be sailed in the E Class at the National Family Island Regatta in Georgetown, Exuma, at the end of April.
