4 October 2008 : Solent race
A day of strong but irregular winds forcing endless reefs in and out. John Laing, with a crew from Budmouth Technology College, came 8th over the line but only 21st on handicap. But crew member Rosie, aged 13, did win the prize for the youngest female crew member in the race!
6 October 2007: Solent race
Sadly in light winds John Laing was unable to make a successful defence of her trophy won the previous June.
27 May - 1 June 2007: Torquay to St Peter Port, Guernsey
John Laing came first over the line and, on handicap, first in class and third overall!
