That means four consecutive nights of festivities and great music during which Heineken Regatta sailors, tourists and island residents come together to celebrate.<\/p>\n<p>The St. Maarten Heineken Regatta began in 1980 as a three-day event with just 12 boats. In 2007, a fourth racing day was added for spinnakers to compete on both windward and leeward courses and get an extra day of competing before the actual event; spinnakers now compete in the Gill Commodores Cup. \u00a0Match-racing series were added in 2009, providing a fierce challenge for skilled sailors. \u00a0Match racing involves sailing America\u2019s Cup-style where two boats compete at a time. It\u2019s a style of racing that\u2019s catching on like wildfire worldwide and St. Maarten was one of the first regattas in the Caribbean to add it.<\/p>\n<p>The best part about the St. Maarten Heineken Regatta is that anyone can join in \u2013 on sea or on land. You don\u2019t need to be a super sailor as there are classes for many types of boat. You don\u2019t even need to own a boat. Several bareboat companies on the island rent yachts for the week. \u00a0In addition, there\u2019s a crew board on the regatta website where sailors can sign up to sail on one of the race boats. The whole of St. Maarten \u2013 sailors, visitors and locals alike \u2013 are welcome to join in the parties where there are live entertainment and cold Heineken beer. Each year the event definitely lives up to its slogan of Serious Fun!<b><br \/>\n<\/b><br \/>\nFor information on the St. Maarten Heineken Regatta, contact:<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"St Maarten yacht Club\"
