Bucket Regatta and Bye Bye BVI Rendezvous

April 25-27, 2008
In Conjunction with the Bye Bye BVI Rendezvous

The Bitter End and BVI are known for world-class regattas. The Bitter End is also known for its world-class megayacht hospitality. The Bucket Regatta is open to sailing yachts 65-feet and up (smaller yachts will race as part of the Bye Bye BVI Rendezvous). This is a great event for owners or guests or just an opportunity for your crew to relax and party after a busy holiday season. There will be prizes for “Classics” (pre-1970 boats) and “Moderns” (post 1970), best crew gear, best-maintained power, best-maintained sail and more. Post-racing presentations by megayacht sail industry insiders.

 Dockwise will host a party on Friday evening, and provide great prizes for the “Around Virgin Gorda Race!" Ann Souder will be on hand to answer any questions regarding yacht transport around the world. Please join us!
