St Barths Bucket March 26-29, 2009.
The St. Barth’s Bucket is an invitational regatta set in the Corinthian spirit. The regatta is open to yachts over 100’ (31 M) L.O.A., unless invited under the Grandfather Clause (bribes accepted by the R.C.!).
It is a fun regatta and after the tremendous success of past three years. The Port Authorities in Gustavia, St Barths, have been very kind once again, to reserve the entire Quay for St. Barth’s Bucket participating yachts.
Again this year, the St. Barths Bucket will include three days of sailing. The skipper’s meeting will be held in the evening on Thursday, 27 March, with racing scheduled for Friday through Sunday, March 28 – 30. Finally, and again of primary importance is for all contestants to understand the spirit of the Bucket Regattas. This is an opportunity to sail your yacht to peak potential in a fleet of the most magnificent sailing yachts on the planet, with full focus on performance as well as safe seamanship.
