Whether it be on the shorter courses in St.George's harbour and the Great Sound, or the long distance trek along the North Shore, there just seems to be no stopping Stevie Dickinson these days.

On Sunday, the veteran Comet skipper chalked up another dominating performance to take the Marsha Lambert Regatta contested in the picturesque Great Sound.

It was the second time this summer that Dickinson has swept a series in the west end, and, as current form suggests, it's now anybody's guess as to just how long this amazing win streak will last.

Trailing Dickinson and crew Ty Trott in second place was the fast-emerging Scott Fox and Darren Hodsoll onboard Get The Cat, while West End Sail Boat skipper Gladwin Lambert and Greg Proctor - who are also proving to be consistent these days - finished third. Veterans Howard Lee and Colin Clarke placed fourth and fifth respectively.

Competing in light air conditions, when all was said and done, it was Dickinson who was left holding the smoking gun after scoring three consecutive bullets.

“It was sort of light out there today (Sunday). Once the first race started, the winds gradually subsided a bit before picking up again to maybe ten knots,” said Dickinson, describing the race conditions.

The veteran skipper trailed Howard Lee and Lambert in the early goings during the first race before reeling in the lead pair at the second weather beat and going onto capture line honours. Races two and three proved just a formality.

“Tactically I was very fast going to weather (upwind) and the boat handling was excellently. Ty did a fantastic job,” he added.

Dickinson has yet to lose a race this summer.

“This year has been very good,” he added. “But what's really on my mind is sailing consistent and sailing well. If that can come about then that will be nice.”

Despite his ongoing conquest, the veteran skipper said it's only a matter of time before one of the younger sailors makes the big breakthrough.

“These guys are coming fast. They are improving every week so that means tactically I have to get stronger,” Dickinson said.

“I never think that I can't be beaten because all of these sailors are good. I have been sailing a long time and my experience is beginning to pay off, but it's like any other sport - you can be beaten.

“That goes for anyone who is on top of their game. There's always someone out there who wants to beat you and is prepared to do the extra work to do so - you have to prepare yourself for it anyway.

“But with Ty and I getting better and better with time then we are going to be very difficult to beat.”

As to the self-imposed exile of perennial rival Rudy Bailey, Dickinson warned: “The longer he stays out of it, then he's going to find it very difficult to compete when he comes back because these guys are very serious about sailing now.

“Bailey is supposed to be the top sailor in Somerset, and these guys want a piece of him.”
