St. Thomas International Regatta

Your Class is Invited! St. Thomas International Regatta - March 23-25, 2018
 

We’d like to invite the Santana 20 Class to race in the 2018 St. Thomas International Regatta! 

The regatta will take place March 23-25, 2018, in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands

 Organizers of the St. Thomas International Regatta are on a mission to make this event the friendliest in the Caribbean for one-design classes! Why? There are five great ‘must-do’ reasons.

 Perfect Venue: One-design racing is hot and Virgin Islands’ waters offer the perfect mix of round-the-island and round-the-buoy courses to ideally accommodate both one-design and handicap classes. STIR is managed and based at the beachside St. Thomas Yacht Club, which has had over half a century experience at running world class events!!

 No Stranger to One-Design: STIR has already successfully hosted Melges 32, VX One and C&C 30 classes as well as our homegrown IC24s. What’s more, host St. Thomas Yacht Club has a long tradition of raising home-grown one-design talent with many U.S. and World Champions on its roster.

 Easy Travel: The U.S. Virgin Islands is easy to travel to from the U.S. or Europe by plane for crews and boats via container or transport ship.

 Ultimate Tropical Vacation Destination: Late winter is the perfect time to take a break from the cold and take the family on a sailing holiday. The U.S. Virgin Islands are world-famous for its first-class resorts and restaurants, beaches, shopping, quaint historic town, sights to see and watersports activities.

 Even More Race Opportunities: There’s the potential to combine attendance at STIR with competition in other Caribbean regattas in March and April, thus providing more racing for the logistical buck.

 Here’s what we can offer:

 •           Turn-key race and logistics package

•           Easy travel to St. Thomas

•           Great racing 

•           A fun relaxing tropical destination

•           Great accommodation options

•           Dedicated class and trophies

 

Thank you for your consideration and we look forward to hearing from you!

A Final Farewell to Seabear

With deep sadness and a heart full of wonderful memories, I had to let Seabear go. The memories Lance and I have had with the S20 fleet from across the nation will never be forgotten; some of the best Lance and I had together. Seabear became part of our life as a wedding present 26 years ago. Lance taught me how to sail (not how to be competitive- I knew that already!) and our sailing campaign over the years brought us friendships that will last forever. Seabear is going to her new home in Corvallis, Oregon. I hope if you ever cross paths with Seabear on the water, you raise a glass (not the red flag!) and remember Lance. Thank you to all, my S20 family.
