A Racer’s Bucket List
The Heineken Regatta
Need a dose of warm sunshine, hot competition and strong breeze to shake off the winter blues? The annual Heineken Regatta is perfectly timed and placed to provide all three. It’s four intense days of racing around the island of St. Maarten/St. Martin,
featuring everything from grand prix boats to charter boats. As an added bonus, the onshore party scene is legendary. How do I take part? There are pay-to-play spots available on race boats that contest all the Caribbean events. Alternatively, enter the bareboat class and have just as much fun. Dates: March 5-8.
