The St. Thomas International Regatta (STIR) is world-class racing and a chance to trade tacks and tactics with America’s Cup, Volvo Ocean and Olympic crews on the water and off. The 3-day regatta will be held March 22-24, 2019. Over 20 vessels are expected on the start line in the IC24 class with as many as 12 races planned over the three-day event. Sailors can bring their own boat or charter. Chartering especially makes it easy to fly in, jump on a race-ready yacht and set sail. Over a half dozen outfits are offering vessels to charter either by the boat or crew spot. Register now at the website.
