Posted by Unknown on: Unknown date

Earlier in the year Blue Peter launched a competition to name the GBR America's Cup Yacht. They received 18,940 entries for the competition.

In the end the presenters chose the name Wight Lightning. The yacht is currently being constructed in The Isle of Wight, kind'a goes with the name. George from Surrey will have his name, Wight Lightning printed on the front of the boat, and will also be heading off to Cowes to meet the Princess Royal later this year. A big clap for the runners up who also suggested Wight Lightning: Chan, Isle of Wight James, Middlesex
