REGATTA...BULLETIN...BOARD<br />

Regatta <strong>2015</strong> is finally here!<br />

The competing boats have arrived, the practices and warmups<br />

are over, and Friday is when the action on the water starts,<br />

with the first of the weekend’s series of Yacht Races.<br />

Welcome, everyone, to <strong>Bequia</strong> – we wish you all a happy,<br />

enjoyable, fun-filled Regatta, and if you are taking part in any<br />

of the races or competitions - fair winds, and good luck! The<br />

Schedule of Events in <strong>this</strong> edition of <strong>Bequia</strong> This <strong>Week</strong> will<br />

help you get the most out of your Regatta weekend. While<br />

every effort has been made to ensure accuracy, location and<br />

timing of Easter onshore activities may be subject to change.<br />

Local Double Ender Races<br />

The local double-ender races are the traditional heartbeat<br />

of <strong>Bequia</strong>’s Easter Regatta - colourful, captivating and amazingly<br />

skilful. Watch out for the start of the first “fishing-boat”<br />

race of the Easter Regatta series - the 1st Hairoun Challenge<br />

- which takes place from Lower Bay on Saturday morning<br />

4th April. Be there from around 9.30am to see the boats and<br />

their crew getting ready for the starts - normally from about<br />

11.00am. The boats are in six classes depending on size (the<br />

largest are 28ft and the smallest just 12ft), and the <strong>Bequia</strong><br />

fleet will be joined by boats from Canouan, Mayreau and<br />

Carriacou. The Race finishes at Paget Farm.<br />

The Sunday race - The 2nd Hairoun Challenge - will start<br />

from Friendship Beach around 10.00am (equally photogenic<br />

and un-missable!) and finish off Hamilton Point. Boats will<br />

then sail down to Lower Bay and pull up on the beach. The<br />

final race on Monday - the Mount Gay Challenge - will start<br />

from the beach in Lower Bay around 9.30am. Make sure you<br />

catch at least one start and finish of these thrilling boat races.<br />

The J24s... and the Surprises!<br />

<strong>Bequia</strong> is now famous for its J24 One-Design Class - identical<br />

boats racing head to head, so first over the finish line is the<br />

winner! The Overall Winner of <strong>Bequia</strong>'s specially designed J24<br />

six-race series will also be crowned “J24 Southern Caribbean<br />

Champion <strong>2015</strong>”, which adds extra spice to the racing!<br />

A second and equally exciting One-Design Class will also<br />

be showing off their skills, <strong>this</strong> time for the Martinique-based<br />

25-foot “Surprise” yachts, who <strong>this</strong> year will be racing alongside<br />

the J24s but in their own separate Class. Crewed mainly<br />

by fearless and fiercely competitive young French sailors, you<br />

will also see many of them taking part in the Hairoun Single-<br />

Handed Round the Island Race on Lay Day Sunday,<br />

with spinnakers flying!<br />

FAMILY FUN ON LAY DAY SUNDAY<br />

Major Regatta sponsors <strong>Bequia</strong> Beach Hotel are organising<br />

a fun-filled Sunday by the beach in Friendship Bay. As well as<br />

hosting the Regatta's popular Sandcastle Competition for children<br />

of all ages, the <strong>Bequia</strong> Beach Hotel is also providing musical<br />

entertainment from around 12 noon, specials on drinks from<br />

11am - 4pm, delicious lunches, and fun-packed activities for<br />

children.<br />

This beautiful shady beachside location provides the perfect<br />

formula for a delightful, relaxing and peaceful Lay Day Sunday.<br />

Sandcastle / Sand Sculpture Competition<br />

Lay Day Sunday 5th April - the beach by <strong>Bequia</strong> Beach<br />

Hotel is the place to be if you are young or just young at heart.<br />

Kids and adults, teams or individuals – all are welcome! The<br />

judges will be awarding points for imagination, creativity, construction<br />

skills, and teamwork.<br />

Registration will take place from 9.30am in the <strong>Bequia</strong><br />

Beach hotel terrace next to the small restaurant, followed by<br />

Start at 10.00am. Teams will be divided into two categories<br />

(up to 14 or Kids & Adults). No one may start building or<br />

gathering decorations until the “Start” whistle is blown! The<br />

competition will end at 11.00am and state of completion will<br />

be one of the judges’ criteria. Prize-giving will be at approx<br />

11.45am. Here are a few rules and guidelines:<br />

• Human bodies may NOT be used as “moulds”.<br />

You may use buckets, cups etc for modelling but <strong>this</strong> may<br />

score lower for construction skills when compared to modelling<br />

by hand.<br />

• Use of natural or man-made objects such as leaves, flowers,<br />

glass, bottle tops and rope is permitted, but only if these<br />

are found on the beach during the competition!<br />

• Organisers’ Tip: Check out the location, tides and state of<br />

the beach in advance!<br />

Please note: If beach conditions are unfavourable,<br />

the Sandcastle competition may be curtailed.<br />

Yacht Garbage Disposal<br />

Ashore, there is only one place to dispose of yacht garbage – the skips located off the Fish Market Jetty<br />

next to the Vegetable Market. These are reserved exclusively for yachties’ use.<br />

Alternatively, yacht garbage may be delivered “at sea” to Daffodil Marine or other reliable water taxis;<br />

charge usually $3.00 to $5.00 per bag. Dumping in unauthorized places is a prosecutable offence.<br />
