All the big names of F18 Class are on-site

The weather conditions are looking favorable for this eighth edition of the St-Barth Cata Cup, according to Didier Flamme, President of the race committee for the St-Barth Cata Cup.

« The first two days, we are expecting winds between 12 and 15 knots, continually strengthening Saturday and Sunday, which is perfect and will allow us to put together a great race program. I was looking at the list of registered boats and the level is very homogenous so I think that we will have a great regatta. »

Each year, the organization is successful at bringing together a good combination of competitors, both amateur and professional. According to Orion Martin, one of the racers representing France, the level will be even more interesting this time around. « This year, the bigger names of sailing like Cammas or Besson are not competing but on the other hand, the level of F18 racers is very high. We have a couple of World Champions and a lot of teams that do well together during the season. I think that this year will be harder than the past events since all of the top names of the Class are sailing. It will magical on the water ! »
