It’s a big party in the Caribbean at the Voiles de Saint Barth (which starts today and ends on April 16) regatta that has now become a fixture: both for the beauty of the race course (the waters off the island of Saint Barthelemy) and for many shore-based initiatives dedicated to crews and “race” boats. Here is a gallery with the most beautiful boats:
THE QUEENS OF SAINT BARTH
CARIBBEAN REGATTA-VACATION, WHY NOT?
Envious? Would you also like to participate in a classic Caribbean? Nothing could be simpler: taking part by renting a boat or a place on boardis easy. There is a specific charter section on each regatta’s website, or you can go to the Caribbean Sailing Association website(www.caribbean-sailing.com). We have selected for you three unmissable events that you still have time to attend!
