A REGATTA aimed at persuading London workers to swap spreadsheets for jib-sheets was launched yesterday.

The Cayman Islands City Racing Challenge will see workers from the worlds of insurance and asset management, legal, banking and IT go head-to-head in waters off Cowes.

The regatta is organised by Island-based charter company Pelican Racing and will take place in Laser SB3 keelboats.
