CARIBBEAN SAILING EXPERINCE

EXPERIENCE RACE LES VOILES DE ST BARHT

Today I show you my experience as a sailor of the Plis Play boat in Caribbean water. I have been a very lucky person since I have had the great opportunity to travel to a unique place, I have been able to share great experiences with a team and a group of unique people that have helped me every day to become a better sailor.

The objective of this trip to the Caribbean was to compete in the Les Voiles St.Barth race, this race is one of the most prestigious in the Mediterranean in which the best and largest boats in the world compete.

In this image I meet Sherwin, he is one of my adventure partners, together we had a lot of fun and above all I learned a lot from him. My washer on the boat was the third bowman, I got the sails from one side of the boat to the other side also I attended the firs bowman and second bowman.

During the course of the competition we started the first day with a third position making an approximate course of 40 miles and 15 knots of average wind, finishing in third position. The second day we did an approximate journey of 30 miles and with a lower viewing intensity, about 10 knots on average, finished this day in fourth position.

The third day was scheduled to rest, so we took advantage of it to go visit the island, and we also had a time to relax on the beach and eat at one of the best restaurants on the island in the company of all the crew.

On the fourth day we continued to compete with an approximate journey of 25 miles and with an average intensity of about 8 knots of wind, we performed a great regatta thus achieving the victory of the day, which we were able to celebrate once the nights with our partners. In the image above we can see the team held the partial test. We finishing this way third in the general of the championship.

To conclude I want to comment on my happiness for having had the opportunity to be competing with a unique crew and continue to learn from the best Spanish sailors knowing a little more.
