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
