CLUBSWAN CARIBBEAN RENDEZVOUS GETS OFF TO A FLYING START

The ClubSwan Caribbean Rendezvous got off to a glorious start yesterday at the Bitter End Yacht Club (BEYC). Twenty international Swan yachts are participating in the Rendezvous this year with one hundred people who have gathered from across the globe. The Rendezvous will travel around the spectacular British Virgin Islands, starting and finishing at the renowned BEYC.

The Swan yachts attending the ClubSwan Caribbean Rendezvous range from Andy Lippman’s Swan 44, Laughing Lady, who is a regular at the ClubSwan Caribbean Rendezvous, up to Swan 82 RS, Clevelander, chartered by Ed Cambell. The Swan fleet is also made up of four Swan 46’s, two Swan 82’s, a Swan 78 and a Swan 70, as well as three charters including one by Joe Huber, onboard Swan 78, Valkyrie, who will be returning to defend the record time of 2 hours, 36 minutes and 47 seconds which he set previously in the Round Virgin Gorda Race.

The ClubSwan Caribbean Rendezvous Laser Regatta started yesterday afternoon after registration with twelve Lasers taking part in the races run by the BEYC. Competition was lively during the Laser racing and all entrants had a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon. The dinghy regatta will continue on Friday afternoon when the Swan yachts return to the BEYC from cruising around the British Virgin Islands.

The opening cocktail reception, followed by a seafood dinner held in The Carvery at the Bitter End Yacht Club, welcomed guests to the 2010 ClubSwan Caribbean Rendezvous. All guests attended the welcome party in typically Caribbean relaxed atmosphere were they mingled with new and old friends against the picturesque backdrop that the BEYC provides.

The first day of the ClubSwan Caribbean Rendezvous will see all Swan yachts sailing around the turquoise waters north of Tortola to the island of Jost Van Dyke where they will anchor for the night. At Jost Van Dyke Island guests will be able to relax into an afternoon of leisure before the ClubSwan Boules tournament on the beach and a drinks reception at Foxy’s Taboo.
