All of the racers have arrived on the island. While some have been busy preparing their boats at Public beach, others have already gone out to test the waters of St Jean Bay. The sailing conditions have been ideal to start off the week for those who were able to go out early.

In total a little over fifty crews will be on the starting line at the 9th edition of the international F18 regatta this Thursday, November 17. Just like last year, aficionados of the St Barth Cata Cup will be able to follow the race live on the event Website. Some small changes on the water are awaiting the racers this time around. The organizing committee has confirmed some 30 circuits for the 4 days of the event. But beware, none will be revealed before the pre-race briefing. Other than the inevitable round the island race, the rest will be a surprise to everyone!

Good 9th edition!
