There is a weekend in late March when St. Thomas becomes the place to be for sailors and sailor-wannabes alike. Leading up to this three day event, a steady stream of sailboats – big and small – make their way into American Yacht Harbor and Yacht Haven Grande while their skippers and crew anxiously await some competitive racing. Men and women travel to St. Thomas from all over the Caribbean, North America, and Europe to be a part of this exciting event. And while most of the event takes place off the downtown waterfront and Cowpet Bay, there are other curious activities happening behind the scenes right before the first gun signals the race start.
