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
I can not believe this is the final step on replacing the rotten deck! I've made it! I am so excited, I waited for this day for such a long time. All the hard work, and finally the deck will get finished :) I know I know it's only a small part of the whole boat progress and there is still so much more work that needs to be done, the list is long: new bulwarks, sanding-welding-painting the rail, fiberglass repairs on the main cabin, fixing leaking hatches, installing one new hatch, repainting the whole boat, underwater repairs on the prop shaft once the boat gets lifted again, changing the switchboard for the electronics and so much more. But this huge job, the deck, is finally coming to an END! IG:yvonnemarianna.travels Patreon: SailingStromy
