Heineken St Maarten Regatta
Now celebrating its 33rd year, the popular St
Maarten Regatta (also spelt St Martin) in early March 2013 is an
inshore yacht racing regatta promoting itself as "Serious Fun!".
The exciting racing features a variety of daily coastal race
courses, with between 1 and 3 courses each day, returning to a
different marina in the small Caribbean island of St Maarten each
evening where the shore-side musical entertainment begins.
With over 250 yachts of all types competing by day, and live
bands each evening, this really is 'serious fun!' More
information is available on the official website of the
Heineken Regatta.
Sailing Logic are offering individual race crew
places in the St Maarten Heieneken Regatta 2013 on
board our highly competitive racing yacht for 2 days of training
and 4 days of exciting inshore and coastal racing. You can
also join the yacht in Antigua for the delivery sail to St
Maarten.
We have teamed up with the 48' yacht Scarlet Logic and
race-winning skipper Tim Thubron, who led Sailing Logic to
victory in the 2011 St Marten Regatta and came 2nd in 2012, so all
the ingredients are there for a truly fantastic Caribbean
Regatta!
If you would like to make it into a family
holiday, it's the perfect opportunity, whilst you will be
racing by day there are plently of opportunities after racing to
join your friends/family. Getting around is very simple by taxi as
the island is so small!
Why not combine this event with the
Caribbean
600 the week before to make the most of your trip to the
Caribbean? Or after the regatta consider taking part in our
Fastnet
2013 campaign for a truly memorable year of
sailing!
