Forced to postpone the event in 2020, the organizers of the St. Barth Cata-Cup bring optimism and are doing everything in their power to prepare the 13th edition which will be full of adventures and festivities, from November 17 to 21.

This Thursday, they officially publish the race notice for the regatta intended for the Formula 18 Class. Members of the St. Barth Multihulls association, Emilie, Laurence, Thierry, and Vincent, are thus working full throttle in order to offer competitors - professionals as well as seasoned amateurs alike -, a unique event thanks to the many strenghts that have made its reputation ever since its begining in 2010: an exceptional waterscape, a convivial spirit, a rigorous organization, controlled logistics and excellent battle on the water.

"The international context remains complicated, but the vaccination campaigns which are progressing at a quick pace in the different countries of the world are blowing a wave of optimism. This shows light at the end of the tunnel ", commented the organizers who thus offer a note of hope to all the great faithful sailors of the St. Barth Cata-Cup but also to all those who wish to come accross and discover the island.
