Sailing legend Stuart Jardine, sailing ‘Lone Star' , has notched up his 8th Captain's Cup win in the X One Design class at Cowes Week earlier this month, a record for the class celebrating its 98th year of racing.

Crewed by Barton Marine's Christian Brewer and son Mark Jardine, the trio were clear winners from the 80 boat fleet after an intense regatta featuring competition from Olympic Gold medallist Sarah Webb and World Radial Laser champion Ben Paton.

Stuart put his win down to good team work and great starts, plus utmost faith in his boat speed and equipment. Christian has been crewing regularly with Stuart in the X One Design since 1995 and has won 7 of the 8 championships with him, Stuart's first win was back in 1956!

Lone Star features a new design Barton size 1 re-circulating ball bearing traveller car with slide bolt track for ultimate low profile and smoothness of operation. Click here for more information.
