Kay, Kevin and the Draig o'r Mor Fastnet 2013
Kay Stibbs and her husband Kevin are competing in the 2013 Rolex Fastnet whilst raising funds for Sail 4 Cancer. Read about this year's qualifiers & crew here
The Stibbs and their intrepid crew first completed the Rolex Fastnet Race in 2009, prior to the terrible rollercoaster experience of a cancer diagnosis and the subsequent treatment. When they competed in the Rolex Fastnet in August 2011, the couple chose to take the opportunity to raise substantial funds for Sail 4 Cancer who offered them a respite opportunity in the summer of 2010. They felt that this holiday was an important part of their cancer journey, helping them to move on as a family, to rebuild their confidence together and to begin to enjoy life again. You can read more about Kay's experiences here.
Their boat, Draig o'r Mor, a 1990 Dehler 36db, has a fantastic ocean racing history with her previous owners, and Kay & Kevin finished 14th in class with her in 2011, despite a few traumas before the event which included a broken mast! What will spur them on during the 2013 event, is knowing that any funds they raise as a result of their efforts will be used to help improve the quality of life for cancer patients and their families, giving them a respite from the experiences the Stibbs family understand all too well.

Please note that all money raised will go to Sail 4 Cancer and will not be used to fund the race.
