Interestingly, winning the skippers’ weight in rum by breaking one of the established
records is not all about out-and-out racing machines, which is one of the reasons
why the event also appeals to club sailors and the charter sector. Sailing his
Dufour 44, Luna, Andreas Berg from Germany circumnavigated the island in 8
hours, 7 minutes, 31 seconds and in doing so set a new benchmark time for the
Singlehanded record.
The Mount Gay Round Barbados Regatta Series is based off the Barbados Cruising
Club beach at the southwest corner of the island in Carlisle Bay where there is plenty
of mooring space. However, demand is starting to increase for space in the
recently completed, and conveniently located marina facilities that include online
clearance through Sail Clear, plus washing facilities and WiFi.
