Windrose, winner of the 2008 St. Barths Bucket

Where does the St. Barth’s Bucket Regatta take place? In St. Barths, in the Leeward Islands of the Caribbean, of course. Picture the main quay in Gustavia Harbor with large luxury sailing yachts lined up stern to, waiting to head out to the waters surrounding St. Barths to participate in this racing regatta called the St. Barth’s Bucket Regatta. Happening this year from March 26-29, Northrop and Johnson is a Sponsor and organizer of this race for the yachting industry. Northrop and Johnson is joined in sponsorship by some of the most premier yacht building shipyards in the world, such as Alloy, Holland Jachtbouw, Perini Navi, Royal Huisman and Villers Shipyard.
Under this fine sponsorship, a 3 day event is organized, with 3 days of day racing, where these large sailing yachts come head to head on various race courses around St. Barths. In 2008, the Bucket was won by Windrose, (charter organized by Northrop and Johnson Yacht Charters) followed by Rebecca and Gliss.
Each night an event is organized for all attendees to socialize together, as this is one of the few events for large luxury sailing yacht owners to spend time together and celebrate the fun of yachting.
A sister event is organized in Newport, Rhode Island in July of each summer, called, of course, the Newport Bucket.
