The 2026 St. Barths Bucket Regatta delivered everything the Bucket is known for: steady Caribbean trades, courses wrapping around the island, and a fleet of phenomenal superyachts pushing hard in close pursuit racing before the breeze built too much for a finale.   North-powered teams were prominent across the scoreboard:  V owned the Maxi 100 Series, nailing Thursday’s windward–leeward races and carrying that speed through the coastal courses to take the class win. In Class B, Les Gazelles des Mers, Hetairos* fought tooth and nail in one of the toughest fleets of the week, swapping places with fellow ketches until claiming both the class victory and the Bucket Trophy.   Over in Class C, Freya (90') edged out Hummingbird by just 32 seconds in a nail-biting finish, keeping cool through a series of upwind–downwind battles. Geist* led Class E with smooth, steady sailing, while Perseus³* made key moves down the final legs to top Class H.   Across the week our sailmakers and race experts were embedded with teams onboard, working through setup, trim, and sail choices in changing trade-wind conditions, while the Regatta Repair loft in Gustavia handled overnight fixes and last-minute adjustments to keep programs on the start line each morning.   With the Bucket wrapped, all eyes turn to the next stop on the Caribbean racing circuit: the North Sound Maxi Regatta in the British Virgin Islands. #NorthSails #StBarthsBucket #NSVictoryList #Superyacht #SailingLife

🌊⛵ “WHOA—LOOK AT THAT WAVE!” A sailing yacht encounters an enormous side wave in open coastal water. The bow climbs steeply before dropping hard into the trough, sending a wall of spray across the deck! 😱🌊 Just when the yacht recovers, a second cross-wave hits from the opposite direction, causing a dramatic heel as the crew grabs the safety rails. The yacht regains balance and continues safely through the rough water. ⛵💨 #Shorts #Sailing #BigWaves #OceanSailing #Sailboat #RoughSeas #OceanWaves #BoatLife #ViralShorts Disclaimer: This video was created using AI for creative and entertainment purposes.

Think you’re safe with a multihull? Think again! Osmosis in wooden or balsa cores can quietly destroy your boat from the inside out. Choose foam core for durability and peace of mind. Don’t let hidden damage sink your investment—ask about the core before you buy! ⚓️🛥️ #multihullsailing #cruisinglife #catamarans #McConaghyBoats #shorts
