2015 St-Barth Cata Cup – Camaraderie among sailors

2015 St-Barth Cata Cup – 'Racing in F18 is all about camaraderie among sailors, and even more so in St-Barth!'.

This is how Todd Ricardi, US catsailor racing in his fourth edition, explains why he loves the support and the regatta so much. This year again, racers from all over the world are expected to converge in the Caribbeans to compete against the best in their class. Organizers are expecting another exciting edition where speed and technical prowess will be at the core of the races.

'This year we have a very nice mix of racers. Some have sailed all season on foiling boats, others are used to offshore racing and then we have the die-hard F18 fans', said Hélène Guilbaud, regatta organizer.

'What is fascinating is that despite the increase in number of supports, we always have a great interest in our event. We certainly have wind in our sails!'

According to Todd Ricardi, the St-Barth Cata Cup is the epitome of what he likes about catsailing:

'It’s four days of giant waves, big breeze, against 53 very talented crews.

No matter what the conditions, I know we will have great racing and it's always a pleasure spending time with friends from all over the world.'

114 racers, four days and between 15-25 knots wind!

As a flagship event of the F18 Class, the St-Barth Cata Cup draws amateur and professional racers who wish to conclude their sailing season in a picture perfect setting. Among those who will be on the start line of this eighth edition, we note the return of Darren Bundock and Yvan Bourgnon and the first appearances of Sam Goodchild and the crews from Argentina.
