The Esse 850 boat Wanna B comes from Switzerland, but all her five crew are local St. Maarten sailors. For skipper and owner Jan van den Eynde, sailing in the St. Maarten Heineken Regatta is a ritual not to be missed. In fact, he has sailed in this event for the last 38 years! Jan was Commodore of the St. Maarten Yacht Club and much involved with the relationship with Heineken which the event still enjoys today. 39th St. Maarten Heineken Regatta Feb 28 - March 3, 2019

What happens when 20 men and 5 ladies from Vancouver go to St Maarten? They set up a little mini race between themselves within the St. Maarten Heineken Regatta. This year sees three boats chartered by Vancouver sailors racing against each other in the beautiful waters around St. Maarten. Racing on chartered boats, the two teams of men - 10 on each boat, called Nauti Canucks 1 and Nauti Canucks 2 - and 5 lovely ladies racing on their boat, Salish Sisters are having lots of serious sailing and serious fun at the St. Maarten Heineken Regatta.
Ineffable is Rapido 60 catamaran, owned by Hong Kong based sailor Stephen Glyn Bourne. Measuring 60 foot, weighing 9.5 tons, this stunning boat not only looks beautiful, but she is also an awesome performer. Regularly achieving speeds of over 15 knots upwind, her performance at the 39th St. Maarten Heineken Regatta was outstanding coming second in her class. She won the Port St Martin prize for the fastest boat in the Round the Island race, taking just 2 hours and 27 minutes. St. Maarten Heineken Regatta video above published Mar 8, 2019.
