Yacht News · 04-17-2007, 09:42 AM

The St. Barths sailing bucket has concluded recently as the begining of this month. It was held from the 29th of March to April 1st. It attracted some big names in the luxury sail market. Perini Navi, Royal Huisman and Alloy all had representation there. Haven't any pics on here as yet that i have seen so if you were interested you can visit the St. Barths bucket regatta website at:

I believe that these were 2006 photos though..
Beautiful sailing, alongside and night shots of the many sail yachts.

But for race results and awards and so on...

I was fortunate enough to be part of the St Bart Raggetta race. Here is a pic of Meteor passing us by!
A few other cool pics as well...

Sorry Carl for making the Metor pic to large. Not exactly sure how I went wrong..

It's definitely the Fitzroy "Ganesha".

.....No?

brunick · 04-10-2009, 03:43 PM

naa its windcrest, i searched for it and the foremast couldn't be maltese falcon ;D and as there's a pic of meteor from the ship shot, i only could be windcrest

[edit] did some more research, that foremast can't be windcrest, its ganesha so the X means yes

Bow rails and foredeck scream Destination Fox Harb'r to me, though it surely could also be Ganesha...

Yacht News · 04-10-2009, 08:05 PM

I was certain the vessel was Ganesha because of the bow rails and foredeck arrangement. Also, the Genoa and stay furlers were clues and the crew in red shirts. I have seen Ganesha's crew wearing red tops before so I assumed it was her based on those clues.

When I saw the "X" I thought it mean that I was wrong. Maybe it meant X marks the spot
