Preparing for the Bequia Easter Regatta 2013
The Bequia Easter Regatta 2013 is well under way, with registration opening today and over 50 yachts expected. to take part across the Crusing, J24 or Local boat classes.
The local boats, known as Double enders, are coming out of hiding across the island; being uncovered, the rigging prepared, the sail attached, new booms carved out of wooden branches and generally put back together for this 'one weekend in the year' sailing!
All across the island these double enders are arriving .... on the bay front under the Almond Tree; along the beach front in Hamilton; along the shores of Friendship Bay and even half way up Mount Pleasant. Everyone is preparing for the highlight of the islands year!
Check out the yachts in the new gallery on the website and watch out for more posts over the weekend as the racing gets underway on Friday morning.
