For the third year in row, the Sint Maarten Yacht Club Sailing School team will sail around Sint Maarten/St. Martin in a RS Quest on July 22nd, as a fund raiser for the Sailing School Program.
In 2021, the first edition of this event, the full lap was completed in 7 hours.
in 2022 this time was beat, as the team finished in 6 hours and 25 minutes.
Every year it will be harder to beat the time, but the team is convinced it is possible.
“It’s not easy to complete this lap. A RS Quest is a unstable and challenging small boat to sail. Especially around Anse Marcel and the north east side of the island it can be rough because of the waves. This makes it a real challenge!” Said Sam Peeks, Racing Coach at the Sint Maarten Yacht Club.
The goal: To collect $700 so one child can sail for 1 full season, starting in September 2023!
