Sunday, June 8th, marked the 12th edition of the Booby Island Regatta — the race where everyone is a winner! With 12 fantastic entries, great vibes, and interesting weather, it was a celebration of sailing and community like no other.
This year’s lineup included:
– **Yachts:** Windspawn, Mowgli, Revenge, Boleno, The Moo, and Schooner Alexander Hamilton
– **Wing Foil:** Daddy Storm
– **RS Feva Teams:** Pier Pressure and Bob
– **Hobie Teams:** Nothing Yet, Midnight Chocolate, and Almond
Congratulations to Windspawn and Captain Nicholas Dupre for securing the overall cup — a remarkable performance by the entire crew!
This regatta isn’t just a fun annual tradition; it also helps raise funds for the Nevis Aquatic and Sailing Centre, where they continue to teach and promote sailing across the Federation. Your support makes a difference!
A big thank you to:
– All the participants – you brought the energy and fun!
– The amazing spectators and after-party crew – what a night!
– Mark and Clifton Estates Rum – for the generous prize donations
– Jazzique, Billy, and Jonni – for the wonderful live music
