At precisely 23.01hrs on 25th May, Alchemy crossed the finish line to win Line Honours in the OSTAR2024! We congratulate David Southwell on a fabulous result!

David was met at the finish line by Assistant Race Director, Norman Bailey and the Newport Harbour Master escorted him to the NYC along the Newport harbour front with siren and lights.

David had ice cold champagne and Dianne presented him with a bag of sweets, fruit and ice cold beer on behalf of the club as she done for every finisher since 2009.
