"Air and sea make for a perfect partnership," says Cape Air President, Dan Wolf. "All of us at Cape Air are proud to sponsor an event that brings such support to the Island's sailing community. Congratulations for C.O.R.T. and fair winds to all of the sailors."
The Caribbean Ocean Racing Triangle Series, C.O.R.T. for short, is a trio of regattas that includes the St. Croix Yacht Club Hospice Regatta, the Puerto Rico Heineken International Regatta, and the BVI Spring Regatta & Sailing Festival.

Series.
Bob Phillips, chairman of the BVI Spring Regatta and Sailing Festival, says, "The C.O.R.T. Series is the reason many of us visit our sister islands and Cape Air is the best way to get there. Hosting the awards for the Cape Air C.O.R.T. Series is an honor and our way of saying thanks."
