At the request of our local Kiteboarders, the St. Croix Yacht Club is adding a racing circle to the Hospice regatta the weekend of February 20 -21. This will allow our avid kiteboarders to compete in round the buoys racing and practice for upcoming competition, using the Racing Rules of Sailing.

'We are excited to offer a circle to this group, they are loads of fun to watch.'

There will be a preliminary skippers meeting at the St. Croix Yacht Club this Sunday, 14 February, at 0930. Conditions allowing (minimum of 12 knots of wind from north or easterly direction) there will be a short practice session on the 14th in the Buck Island Channel. Hopefully our winds will cooperate on the weekend of the regatta, so that this group can go out on the race course and show us their speed.
