Planning and preparations are well underway for the 38th St. Maarten Heineken Regatta, and the world's largest warm water regatta continues to innovate and improve by responding to demand from competitors. In addition to the highly competitive and popular CSA monohull classes, the upcoming edition will feature a new class.
For the newly-introduced Diam 24 One-Design class, the St. Maarten Heineken Regatta will form part of a Diam 24 Caribbean Circuit, and the regatta will be assisting with shipping arrangements both from Europe and from other Caribbean islands. These exciting high-performance trimarans will no doubt revel in the courses and conditions on offer.
Early entries this year will be able to take advantage of extra logistical support including special shipping rates from Europe, assistance with booking berths on island, and help in finding accommodation. The Notice of Race can be downloaded from the official entry, results, and noticeboard at regattaguru.com/heineken.
