Caribbean Racing at its finest.

For the yacht racing enthusiasts out there, it is the heart of the racing season here in the Caribbean. The CORT series has begun--Caribbean Racing Triangle. The CORT circuit consist of the St Croix International (Feb 20-22), The Culebra International ( March 20-22) and concluding with the BVI Spring Regatta and Sailing Festival (April 2-5). The other two highly participatory races are the St Martin Heineken Regatta (March 6-8) and the St Thomas Rolex Regatta (March 27-29). Sailors from around the world converge for serious racing all hoping to be on the podium

This past weekend the Heineken Regatta will be remembered as one of the windiest events in its history. The 3 day event saw steady NE winds gusting to 40Kts. Collisions and downed masts were all part of the equation that made for a wet and wild weekend.
