SUMMARY:Saint Lucia National Day — festival of Lights and Renewal
DESCRIPTION:The Festival of Light in Saint Lucia is an event that traditionally marks the beginning of the Christmas season on December 13th\, honouring Saint Lucy\, the patron saint of light. This festival symbolises the victory of light over darkness and the renewal of life. \n\n\n\nA key tradition of the festival is the creation of lanterns\, originally hung in doorways to “light the way\,” which has evolved into a creative competition held in the first week of December. Participants\, both youth and adults\, craft lanterns from natural and recycled materials\, as well as colorful papers\, depicting various themes such as local culture\, historical buildings\, and imaginative designs. \n\n\n\nThe celebration culminates on the eve of Saint Lucia Day with the Festival of Light. The festivities include a Parade of Lanterns through Castries\, accompanied by Christmas songs and dances\, followed by the illumination of Derek Walcott Square and a fireworks display. Many businesses also continue the tradition of lighting up on December 13th. \n\n\n\nIn 2013\, the festival introduced the Lantern Ritual\, where a musical procession to the harbour\, led by traditional masqueraders\, sets paper lanterns afloat on the water\, carrying the wishes and prayers of the patrons for the season and beyond. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore information on Saint Lucia National Day — festival of Lights and Renewal

DESCRIPTION:Caribbean Multihull Challenge: fast\, fun\, and all about catamarans and trimarans\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSint Maarten’s Caribbean Multihull Challenge (CMC) has quickly established itself as the must-sail event for performance cruising cats\, racing trimarans\, and everything in between.  \n\n\n\nHeld each year in late January – early February\, this regatta celebrates the speed\, innovation\, and spirit of multihull sailing in the Caribbean’s ideal conditions. \n\n\n\nNow in its growing seasons since its launch in 2019\, the CMC offers three days of exhilarating racing\, featuring: \n\n\n\n\nPoint-to-point distance races around the coastlines of Sint Maarten and nearby islands\n\n\n\nWindward/leeward buoy courses for competitive classes\n\n\n\nA dedicated Cruising Multihull class with shorter\, more relaxed courses\n\n\n\n\nEach year\, the fleet has grown to include a mix of high-performance trimarans\, charter cats\, and full-on race machines like MOD 70s and Gunboats.

SUMMARY:Guadeloupe Caribbean Rum and Food Festival (2027 dates tbc)
DESCRIPTION:a taste of Guadeloupe in Sainte-Rose\n\n\n\nFor sailors cruising Guadeloupe\, the Caribbean Rum & Food Festival is a good opportunity to step ashore and discover some of the flavours\, people and creative energy that shape the French Caribbean. \n\n\n\n\nHeld in Sainte-Rose\, the festival brings together rum producers from across the region\, Guadeloupe-based chefs\, local artisans and music. Visitors can explore Caribbean rums\, attend culinary demonstrations and workshops\, browse the artisan market\, and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere as the day moves into an evening of live music. \n\n\n\nMore than a tasting event\, it is a chance to approach Caribbean food and rum culture with curiosity: to meet the people behind local products\, learn about their craft\, and experience the diversity of traditions found from one island to another. \n\n\n\nIf you are sailing nearby\, consider adding a stop in Sainte-Rose to your itinerary — and remember to enjoy responsibly before returning to the water. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlanning your visit: practical information for visitors\n\n\n\nIf you are thinking of attending the festival during your stay in Guadeloupe\, here is a practical overview to help you organise your visit. \n\n\n\nTickets and admission \n\n\n\n\nTickets can be purchased on site at the entrance\, provided the event is not already sold out.  \n\n\n\nYour admission includes access to regional rum tastings and local products until 19:00\, stage activities\, masterclasses\, and access to the pool area.  \n\n\n\nChildren under 18 enter free of charge when accompanied by a responsible adult\, though please note that there are no dedicated activities or entertainment tailored specifically for young children. \n\n\n\n\nFood and extra workshopsWhile general tastings and masterclasses are included with your ticket\, on-site food is not. Six distinct food stands run by local chefs offer a variety of choices\, from traditional Guadeloupean dishes to comforting staples like grilled meats and bokits (outside food and drinks are not permitted on the premises). Speciality workshops\, such as cigar masterclasses and blind rum tastings\, are accessible for an additional modest fee with registration at the entrance. For stage-side culinary workshops with tastings\, seating operates on a first-come\, first-served basis\, so arriving early is recommended. \n\n\n\nGetting there and on-site practicalitiesThe festival venue is accessible by car. Parking spaces are limited\, making carpooling or taxis the preferred option if you are coming ashore from your boat or charter base. Credit card payment terminals are available throughout the site\, though keeping some cash on hand is wise in case of mobile network interruptions. The event is accessible to visitors with reduced mobility\, but do keep in mind that the entire venue is outdoors on grass. Non-alcoholic drinks\, coffee masterclasses\, craft stalls\, and sunset DJ sets ensure a welcoming experience for both rum connoisseurs and non-drinkers alike. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore information on the festival

SUMMARY:Mini Transat 6.50 Departure
DESCRIPTION:In 2027\, the Mini Transat will leave France on September 24th\, 2027. Skippers will first sail to Las Palmas\, Gran Canaria\, and then head to Salvador de Bahia in Brazil. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Mini Transat: a solo Atlantic challenge\n\n\n\nThe Mini Transat is a solo transatlantic sailing race held every two years. Participants sail across the Atlantic Ocean alone on 6.50-meter boats\, with no contact or assistance from land. \n\n\n\nRace Overview\n\n\n\nStarting in 1977\, the Mini Transat has been a key event for sailors\, emphasizing human effort and skill over technology. The race covers about 4\,050 nautical miles in two stages: from Les Sables d’Olonne\, France\, to Santa Cruz de La Palma in the Canary Islands\, and then to Saint-François in Guadeloupe. \n\n\n\nThe Mini Transat is unique due to its strict rules: no communication with shore\, the use of small boats\, and controlled budgets. These aspects make it an authentic and challenging competition\, often serving as a starting point for professional sailors.
