The St Barths Bucket: how to watch superyachts race properly
Forty-odd sailing superyachts, four days of windward-leeward around a Caribbean island that closes its airport to be a grandstand — the Bucket is the friendliest big-boat racing there is.
The RORC Caribbean 600, for people who like their sleep in one lump
Close to 600 nautical miles, non-stop, around more than a dozen Caribbean islands — the February race that treats an archipelago as a race track.
The Rolex Sydney Hobart, for people who watch from the shore
628 nautical miles, a Boxing Day start through Sydney Heads, and two races inside one: the maxis racing each other for line honours, and a hundred boats racing the clock for the real trophy.
