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. The event is known not just for the racing\, but also for its warm\, laid-back island vibe\, with nightly parties\, beachside dinners\, and a passionate sailing community. \n\n\n\nWhy CMC stands out:\n\n\n\nWhile most Caribbean regattas cater primarily to monohulls\, CMC puts multihulls front and centre.  \n\n\n\nWith growing industry support and a race program tailored to different performance profiles\, the event is increasingly seen as the Caribbean’s premier multihull regatta. \n\n\n\nWhether you’re racing for the podium or just for the ride\, the Caribbean Multihull Challenge delivers big breeze\, big fun\, and big rewards.

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.
