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 />
