2010 BVI Spring Regatta and Sailing Festival Looks Like Another Sizzler

Moka Jumbies delight both young and old at the 2009 BVS Spring Regatta.
"Keep it up – l appreciate the precise sailing & course instructions superb race/ scoring staff and the venue is the best I have encountered in my 49 years of competitive sailing," so says competitive sailor 'Harken Harv' (Neil Harvey). With comments like that, the BVI Spring Regatta has to work hard to raise the bar every year but the organizing committee and the event host, Nanny Cay Marina and Resort, have a few new gems in store for 2010.

Voiles de Saint Barth
With three months to go to the start of this new event on the international sailing calendar, everyone in the Voiles de Saint Barth organising committee is hard at work sorting out the racing details, but they are also looking at the entertainment and festive features of the event. The teams under the authority of the president, Bruno Magras, assisted by Luc Poupon and Francois Tolade, have been working on the major features in the programme, which will bring together the finest boats racing in the Caribbean.
Three new partners have joined the Voiles de St Barth : Richard Mille Watches becomes the headline partner, with the Banque des Antilles Francaises and the St. Barts Hoteliers Association as official partners.

Annual St Lucia to Martinique Race

Entertainment in the form of a traditional costume and dance troupe.
On Saturday 12th December at 09.00 a reduced entry of seven boats turned up in squally conditions for the start of the St Lucia to Martinique race series known as the Sir John Compton Memorial Race. The annual event is held in honour of the late Prime Minister of St Lucia, a keen yachtsman who served the island for over 30 years. The start was off the St Lucia Yacht Club in Rodney Bay and within the fleet included two ARC entries Akanara and Boundless and also two Martiniquan boats. The smallest entry was a J24 skippered by Edgar Roe.

Sea Rescue St.Maarten Wins in the first Rescuers Regatta 2009

Team Sunsail/Sea Rescue II display their first place trophy.
The first annual Rescuers Regatta, organized by the St.Maarten Heineken Regatta committee, was deemed a complete success. The event was born out the desire for the Sint Maarten Yacht Club to have more contact socially with the members of the Coast Guard, Sea Rescues French and Dutch as well as the Port Authority as they play such an important role in the St.Maarten Heineken Regatta. Usually these organizations work together with great efficiency, but rarely have the chance to get together for some fun, thus the Rescuers Regatta was born.

Hate Sausages? Need Crew? That's no excuse.
Regatta organizers often hear excuses for why racers don"t race in their regattas:
- Tired of not racing windward/leeward courses.
- Unable to find crew/boat.
- Unhappy with class breaks.
- Need more family time.
- Time better spent raising money for good causes.
- Not enough free rum.

St. Croix Yacht Club Hospice Regatta organizers have addressed these concerns and hope to reach those who might be overlooking an opportunity to race in the warm, protected waters of the Big Island, February 19-21, 2010.
