Jono Pank has become the first sailor to win back-to-back editions of the GJW Direct Bloody Mary, the sixth event in this season’s Seldén Sailjuice Winter Series. Pank helmed his Firefly to victory crewed by Isobel Bretherton, the duo from Imperial Poona Yacht Club crossing the rolling finish line ahead of a 124-boat fleet competing at the Queen Mary Sailing Club.
Last year Pank won the trophy with his son Freddie, and two consecutive years of light winds have played to the strengths of the Firefly dinghy. Second place went to Angus Cook and Lucie Hopkins, also sailing a Firefly, while third place was taken by Ian Dobson and his son Ted in their Mirror dinghy.
