Les Voiles de St. Barth 2011: Maxi sailing Yachts Genuine Risk and Rambler tied
April 08, 2011
Written by
Following two spectacular days of racing punctuated by strong breezes sweeping across the Caribbean, the Les Voiles de St. Barth shifted into “lay day” gear today. Understandably, the approximately 400 owners, skippers and crew competing here -- on 48 boats from 17 countries -- wanted to make the most of their stay on St. Barth, so some took advantage of the rest, relaxation and entertainment (including a remote-control sailboat regatta) offered at Nikki Beach resort on St. Jean Bay while others went off packing to enjoy some of the wonders the island has to offer. ... read full story
Les Voiles de St. Barth 2011: Day 2 Déja vu all over again
April 07, 2011
Written by
The warm tropical breeze and clear blue sky is not lost on the sailors here at Les Voiles de St. Barth – especially those from the colder climes of the U.S. where spring has not quite yet sprung. Even normally jaded professional sailors were waxing on about the conditions here. Today offered 15 - 16 knots of breeze and a much reduced sea from yesterday, when many boats returned to the quay to lick their wounds and effect repairs, which included torn sails, broken head foils, and damaged rigging. ... read full story

Motor yacht Ocean Emerald, yacht Ocean Pearl and MY Ocean Sapphire transported by Dockwise Yacht Transport
April 07, 2011
Written by
Some unions are meant to be, and when Floating Life was introduced to Dockwise Yacht Transport (DYT) a year and a half ago, it became clear, almost immediately, that this match between two corporate dynamos would be one made in heaven. In the case of transporting Floating Life’s three 131’ (41 meter) Norman Foster-designed motor yachts (motor yacht Ocean Emerald, yacht Ocean Pearl and MY Ocean Sapphire) back and forth between the Caribbean and the Mediterranean, there is no other yacht transport company with which Floating Life would rather involve itself than DYT. ... read full story
