BVI Spring Regatta 2009

It is 24hrs since the BVI Spring Regatta came to a close and we would like to congratulate Team BVI for the fantastic job they did. Captain Dunbar competed like a true champion, he and his crew winning a total of 3 races, while claiming 2nd place in two others and 3rd place in another 2 giving them the most wins in Bareboat A.

Well done Team, we know you encountered some challenges but were strong and overcame all the obstacles. Go Team BVI! You rock!

British Virgin Islands

You have decided to sail the British Virgin Islands… Congratulations!

In this sailing destination you will find line of sight navigation ideal for sailors of all levels, even if you are just curious about the sailing experience.

It is my pleasure to take you on a tour through this archipelago of forty emerald islands where you will experience northeasterly trade winds throughout the winter months through early summer. The winds will shift south southwesterly as you go through the summer. With winds blowing from the northeast, leaving Road Town on Tortola, a sail to Norman Island will not require you to tack and the estimated time of arrival is 45 minutes to 1 hour, a distance of 7 nautical miles.
