Escape the stress of work and the city for the island life! Time to swap the road traffic for the open ocean and head to the Caribbean<\/strong> <\/a>this winter. If the prospect of lying on a beach all day sipping cocktails doesn’t excite you, let us find you a sailboat Tortola<\/strong><\/a> in just one of many gorgeous destinations to explore.

This makes the regatta a great environment for less competent sailors to try something new and exhilarating, and to have a holiday to remember.<\/p>\n

\"perinis\"<\/a>The stated goal is to \u201cwin the party\u201d, St Barts Port Director Ernest Brin says “Twenty years later, the spirit is still alive.” This shows how the regatta is becoming increasingly popular and the traditional values and meaning are still\u00a0remembered.<\/p>\n

Come and join the race, either by crewing on a yacht or following the race on your private charter for a more relaxing experience! There is better music, faster racing and bigger crowds each year, so come and see what the fuss is all about.<\/p>\n
