There are exactly two months to go - the competition will be held from April 14 to 19. At least 70 boats and around 1,000 sailors are preparing to enter the Caribbean Sea. This year will be Les Voiles de Saint-Barth's fifth.

Les Voiles de Saint-Barth conquered the hearts of spectators and sailors last year. Organisers pulled in competitors from America, Ireland, Germany, the Cayman Islands, Britain, the Netherlands, the French community of Saint-Bertelemy and many other countries.

Several divisions are scheduled for the current race: Spinnaker class, Non Spinnaker class, IRC 52s, maxi and multihulls.

George David, skipper of the famous Rambler 100 foot maxi yacht, has also confirmed his participation. Bella Mente will participate for the first time in this class with Mike Sanderson and Dee Smith, regular participants of Volvo Ocean Race and «America's Cup».

The organisers promise some entertainment on land, too, such as an evening meeting with locals who have expressed a desire to learn from the yachtsmen. At least in words.
