Swan Maxi Series – St. Barths Bucket Regatta

St. Barths (BLM) – March 16-19, 2023

Lot 99 secures 2nd place at The St. Barths Bucket Regatta!

The 29th edition of the prestigious St. Barths Bucket Regatta, a favorite among sailors worldwide, took place once again on the picturesque island of Saint Barthélemy.

This regatta is part of the Swan Maxi Series, which features seven events contested by Maxi Swans around the globe. Since its inception in 1995, the St. Barths Bucket has grown in popularity, with its roots tracing back to the inaugural edition in Nantucket, Massachusetts, in 1986.

In an impressive performance, the Swan 95 sailing yacht Lot 99 clinched 2nd place overall in CLASS D: L’Esprit 1, thanks to a spectacular win in the regatta’s final race.

WARMING UP THE ENGINES

While The Nations League 2023 kick off is right around the corner, teams are starting stretching their legs, finalizing training and test sails to get well-prepared.

One week’s time six ClubSwan 36s had the chance to test themselves in the waters off Split, within ACI Marina facilities – playing host to the first event of the season for the class: Swan Croatia Challenge (25-29 April).

Marina di Scarlino will host in a couple of weeks’ time the ClubSwan 50 Scarlino Warm Up (April 14-16) where a nice fleet of nine ClubSwan 50s will dispute training-races in the sheltered Gulf, under the organization of Yacht Club Isole di Toscana.
