Last Sunday, the 42 winners of the 45th edition of the St. Maarten Heineken Regatta received their trophy at the Regatta Village, in Port de Plaisance.
This year, nearly 25.000 visitors and more than 35 nationalities joined the St. Maarten Heineken Regatta. Despite unpredictable weather during the four days of regatta, the competitors, all nationalities combined, were able to stand out from the crowd. Among the most successful participants, the ship Leaps and Bounds 2 took first place in the CSA1 class, Pata Negra in the CSA3 class, and Sundown in the CSA5 class. The multihulls also proved fierce against their rivals. Ocean Tribute finished first in the Multihull 1 class, while Girlfriend dominated in the Multihull 2 class.
The Island Time class saw the sailboat Sao jorge secure victory in the regatta, marking a memorable moment for the crew and spectators. The ship's crew IGY Racing, made up mainly of Saint-Martin skippers, finished first in the class Sunfast 20 ! At last, Zeebest finished first in the class Diameter 24. On the side of Saint-Martin youth, the high school students from the Robert Weinum school complex reached the third step of the podium in the “Island Times” category at the end of the race on their boat First 21.7.
Emilien Le Normand, Clément Le Normand and Achille Le Normand win the SXM Youth Challenge Cup.
To close this beautiful event, the legendary group The wailers has brought together all generations around its most timeless songs.
