There are close to 20 boats already registered for the 12th edition of Les Voiles de St. Barth Richard Mille, which takes place April 16-22, 2023, in the turquoise waters of the Caribbean.

The list includes the Volvo 70 Pyewacket 70 in the Maxi class. Owned by Roy Disney, who is also the skipper, this sailboat is not a stranger to racing. A regular at the Transpac—the Disney family has participated for 40 years—Pyewacket 70 participated in several regattas in 2022 including the Pacific Cup in July, sailing to victory in the Islands Race in February, and the Puerto Vallarta Race. No doubt this is a boat to consider, with its crew ready to do battle in Les Voiles!

In the Spinnaker class, Les Voiles regulars will return, such as Jean François Terrien's J109 Sang Neuf, Pamela Baldwin's J122 Liquid, and Bernie Evan Wong's Taz, as well as Peter Corr's Bliz, Peter Lewis' Whistler, Sir Richard Matthews' Holding Pattern, and Jim Madden's Stark Raving Mad. Among the newcomers are the Swan 50 Balthasar and John Desmond's Mills 41 Final Final.

The multihull class will once again be very competitive with intense fight expected between the Gunboat Mach Schnell, the 53-foot catamaran Fujin, the trimaran Oceans Tribute or the HH66 multihull Nemo.
