About the event
There can be few events in the world that match St. Maarten Heineken Regatta's unique cocktail of fun and serious racing and this Caribbean classic continues to go from strength to strength. If the positive buzz on the street is anything to go by, next year's event is going to reach record levels and it's not surprising this event is fast becoming a Mecca for seriously fun winter racing.
We offer a full train/race package during which time we'll cover:
• Racing rules
• Starting techniques
• Upwind boat handling
• Downwind boat handling
Our professional crew will train you to ensure that the racing is safe, fun and that each crew member is able to make a valuable contribution to the team effort. Prior race experience is not essential although some previous sailing experience is handy. The skipper will assess the overall crew capability before deciding whether to race in the spinnaker class or not.
About the Island
Welcome to the land of hot days, cool nights, tropical breezes and warm people. Bienvenue and Wilkom to the island of St. Maarten/St. Martin, the smallest country in the world that is divided between two sovereign powers. There are some features that make the island unique in the world - the stunning beaches, rolling green hills and borderless existence are just a start but the luxury goods, duty free shopping and one-of-a-kind charm that blends the sophistication of Europe and the laid back atmosphere of the Caribbean make it priceless.
Other activities
If you appreciate gourmet food, world class duty free shopping, vibrant nightlife, pristine beaches, year-round warm climate and a cosmopolitan atmosphere with a Caribbean twist, Saint Martin is for you! Apart from the post-sailing parties laid on every night Saint Maarten's crystal clear waters are host to every type of water sport imaginable. Sailing, surfing, body-boarding, wake-boarding, jet-skiing, para-sailing, windsurfing, snorkeling, diving, kayaking, and now, the latest fad, 'Kite-surfing' or 'Fly-surfing'.
