The Heineken Regatta is definitely one to put on your bucket list.  Unbelievable parties each night at different locations on the island.  Check out this video filmed from a drouge http://vimeo.com/m/88720486.   At about 45 seconds you can follow Otra Vez thru a gybe.  Sat we hit 20.2 kts on the backside of the island.  The boat is definitely capable of 25+ kts.  It's pretty impressive.   

Next up for Otra Vez is St Barths in April then it's off to Newport for the summer.

Obviously it's a drone not drouge!!!  Although footage from a drouge might be cool in the Carribean!!!

So, where can we get one of these drouge/drones??? If we start taking a few videos like that one, we'll be getting EVERYONE out to race!

Cool Ed.  I was about to rush out and get one until I though about how to get it back aboard.  Not sure I could fly one that well.  Practice practice practice.

"carrier landings"....that's the rub....perhaps from Tramp.....but still it's a lot to dunk into the Bay on a botched return...
