The 12 Metre Yacht Club Gives Back Race for Ukraine Raises $20,000 Text & Photos by NANCY BLOOM

T

he 2022 Race for Ukraine, hosted by the 12 Metre Yacht Club (Newport. Rhode Island), provided a fundraising platform that supported the people of Ukraine. A total of $20,000 was raised for medical supplies for the people of Ukraine. The race, open to all sailboats with PHRF ratings, was championed by Steve Eddleston, Commodore of the 12 Metre Yacht Club and owner of America Cup’s winning 12mR yacht Weatherly.

Donations to Ukraine were made through Heart to Heart International (HHI), a global humanitarian organization whose

| 14 | www.yachtingtimesmagazine.com

mission is to improve healthcare access around the world by ensuring quality care is provided equitably in medically underresourced communities and in disaster situations around the world.

Ida Lewis Yacht Club (ILYC) and Bristol Yacht Club (BYC) provided simultaneous race starts at each end of Narragansett Bay. The Herreshoff Marine Museum (HHM) acted as the Organizing Authority, registering and scoring all entries. The International Twelve Metre Association (ITMA) also supported this event.

2022 Safe Harbor Race Weekend Overall, Amazing Photos by NANCY BLOOM

S

ixty-two teams in 11 classes competed in the second annual Safe Harbor Race Weekend in Newport, Rhode Island.

The regatta’s fun meter seemed always to be pegged at max, whether at official social functions or dockside minglings at the three host venues: Safe Harbor Newport Shipyard, Safe Harbor

New England Boatworks, and Safe Harbor Jamestown Boatyard.

Predicting frustratingly light air on Friday, the Race Committee wisely moved up the racing by one hour from a scheduled noon start; however, the planned windward/leeward buoy racing for the IC37s had to be cancelled completely while an Around

Prudence Island race that started for all other Division 1 classes had to be shortened to two-thirds of its original length. Division 1 sailed their regatta on Narragansett Bay, while Division 2, comprised of two classes for Superyachts, sailed theirs “outside” – just beyond the Bay’s entrance on Rhode Island Sound. In a more solid breeze there, the Superyachts completed a 15-mile navigator’s race on Friday, just fine.

Division 2 was a spectacle of racing. The majestic 91-foot custom yawl Bequia might have been the most visually arresting of the Superyachts competing at the Safe Harbor Race Weekend had it not been for the equally magnificent profiles of six other Superyachts that, along with Bequia, comprised the event’s Division 2. Aesthetics aside, Bequia turned in the finest performance over three navigator’s races to win the Superyacht B class and take overall honors for the division.

Winning Superyacht A was the 76’ sloop Zemphira.

“We took advantage of collective local knowledge aboard and were able to tack quickly and go into places where some of the other Superyachts didn’t want to go,” said Bequia’s tactician Mike Toppa (Newport, R.I.). “Overall, it was a fantastic regatta.

The Race Committee did a nice job, modifying the schedule based on the wind forecasts and giving us good, high-quality racing.

As for the shoreside hospitality, we enjoyed it all… the morning breakfast, the big parties on Friday and Saturday nights, the Awards on Sunday… everyone was happy and there was lots of food, music and fun…you couldn’t have asked for more.”

TIWAL 3R, THE SUPERCHARGED INFLATABLE DINGHY CARRIED IN BAGS H

aving sold more than 2,000 of its inflatable sailing dinghies worldwide, Tiwal is now launching the Tiwal 3R, its new sport dinghy. This is a technical and compact boat for serious sailors. Easy to assemble, it’s on the water in just 25 minutes. And it can be taken anywhere, in the back of the car...

The mix chosen by the R&D team makes the Tiwal 3R a powerful and sporty sailboat, but also one that’s technically and physically accessible. Emmanuel Bertrand, President and Co-founder: “The Tiwal 3R’s performance is close to that of rigid-hulled sailing dinghies, but it’s easier to access. It planes quickly. Its power allows it to play with the water, ride the waves, and make long runs with fast, consistent speed. It’s a pleasure to get the boat going in the groove and to finetrim the rig for optimal performance”.

The boat gets its power from the rig. For the sails (77sq ft or 67 | 18 | www.yachtingtimesmagazine.com

sq ft), the R&D team and North Sails went for a laminated fabric from offshore racing. The mast and boom are 90% carbon, contributing to the responsiveness of the boat. All the sail controls return to the helmsman on each side of the boat and offer a great finesse for trimming. The boat is also light, with a total weight of 121 lbs.

The Tiwal 3R’s inflatable hull gives the sailing dinghy an amazing rigidity, with its fusion material in conjunction with the aluminum exoskeleton. The daggerboard and rudder are made in composite material, and highlight the overall rigidity of the boat.

The result? A behavior similar to that of a rigid boat, while keeping its compact functionality for transport. Marion Excoffon, the boat’s designer adds: “Close your eyes and you can compare it to a rigidhulled dinghy. Open them, it fits in 2 bags!”

BOAT REVIEWS | TESTEO DE EMBARCACIONES

I

t’s a warm afternoon in late June and I’m cruising aboard a gorgeous J Craft Torpedo in the St Tropez Gulf, in the heart of the French Riviera. The epitome of elegant and sleek lines, her varnished wood decks shine beautifully under the late afternoon sun. Passing by dozens of docked megayachts, we glide into the small and exclusive port of St. Tropez. Our German captain expertly approaches the pier closest to town so we can step off in style. A few tourists take pictures of us and of our classy boat that represents the savoir-faire of a timeless era and exudes an irresistible allure.

St. Tropez may be J Craft’s social playground in the Med, but these motoryachts come from way up north in the Baltic Sea where their soul is intertwined with their Viking heritage. It is particularly in the island of Gotland where Swedish boatbuilder J Craft and its master craftsmen and craftswomen have strived to maintain the ancient local traditions that have defined the region’s shipbuilding history.

J Craft is rooted in Sweden’s rich seafaring heritage and its people are descendants of the Vikings who settled in Gotland in the 12th century. J Craft was born in 1999 with the first 38-foot Cabrio Cruiser. It took a whole year of work, but Hull #1, Polaris, was delivered to her new owner, His Majesty Carl Gustaf XVI, King of Sweden, in August the same year. | 34 | www.yachtingtimesmagazine.com

E

s una cálida tarde de finales de junio y estoy navegando a bordo de un hermoso J Craft en el golfo de St Tropez, en el corazón de la Riviera francesa. El barco es el epítome de líneas elegantes, y sus cubiertas de madera barnizada resplandecen bajo el sol de la tarde.

Nos deslizamos hacia el Puerto de St Tropez, pasando por decenas de megayates atracados en este pequeño y exclusivo puerto. El capitán alemán se acerca hábilmente al muro del puerto más cercano al pueblo para que descendamos con estilo. Algunos turistas nos toman fotos a nosotros y a este precioso barco que representa el savoir-faire de una época atemporal y que emana un encanto irresistible.

Este puede ser el patio de recreo social de J Craft en el Mediterráneo, pero su origen proviene del norte del Mar Báltico donde su esencia está ligada a la de los vikingos. Es justo en la isla de Gotland donde el constructor de barcos sueco J Craft y sus maestros artesanos han logrado conservar las antiguas tradiciones locales que han definido la historia de la construcción naval de la región.

J Craft tiene sus raíces en la rica herencia marítima de Suecia y, por lo tanto, de los vikingos que se asentaron en Gotland desde el siglo XII. J Craft nació en 1999 con el primer Cabrio Cruiser de 38 pies. Tomó todo un año de trabajo, pero el casco #1, Polaris, fue entregado a su nuevo propietario, Su Majestad Carl Gustaf XVI, Rey

A striking 1950s and ‘60s retro vintage-style boat, the Cabrio Cruiser was distinguished by classic design, beautiful materials, exquisite engineering and state-of-the-art, thoroughly modern technology.

Polaris was built around a modern fiberglass hull with mahogany veneer and powered by two Yanmar engines with straight shaft propulsion.

Based near St. Tropez, Polaris is still being used 20-plus years later and remains the Swedish King’s favorite boat for Mediterranean cruises.

His Majesty operates his own boat and was happy to surprise the owners of hull # 18 of the Torpedo model during its delivery in 2019.

In 2009 J Craft introduced the 42-foot Torpedo. With the original founder falling ill, the company was quietly acquired by entrepreneur Radenko Milakovic, in order to safeguard the yard’s precious heritage. The new owner has been actively involved in the birth of the new Torpedo model that, although retaining the Cabrio Cruiser’s elegant and timeless design features, was a brand new and upgraded interpretation of her older sister’s vintage style.

J Craft designed the Torpedo’s hull in direct cooperation with Volvo Penta to accommodate the rudderless IP system that offers effortlessly intuitive and precise handling. J Craft Torpedos are equipped with the latest generation Volvo Penta IPS engines (Volvo Penta IPS 500,

de Suecia, en agosto del mismo año.

Un impactante barco de estilo retro vintage de los años 50 y 60, el Cabrio Cruiser se distinguió por su diseño clásico, hermosos materiales, ingeniería exquisita y tecnología de punta y completamente moderna.

Polaris se construyó alrededor de un casco moderno de fibra de vidrio con chapa de caoba y propulsado por dos motores Yanmar con propulsión de eje recto.

Con base cerca de St. Tropez, Polaris todavía se usa más de 20 años después y sigue siendo el barco favorito del rey sueco para los cruceros por el Mediterráneo. Su Majestad opera su propio barco y estuvo feliz de sorprender a los propietarios del casco #18 del modelo Torpedo durante su entrega en 2019.

En 2009, J Craft presentó el Torpedo de 42 pies. Al enfermarse su fundador, la empresa fue adquirida silenciosamente por el empresario Radenko Milakovic para salvaguardar el preciado patrimonio del astillero. El nuevo propietario ha participado activamente en el nacimiento del nuevo modelo Torpedo que, aunque conservaba las características de diseño elegante y atemporal del Cabrio Cruiser, era una interpretación completamente nueva y mejorada del estilo vintage de su hermana mayor.

J Craft diseñó el casco del Torpedo en cooperación directa con Volvo www.yachtingtimesmagazine.com | 35 |

They have regularly undertaken long trips, in the South China Sea from Hong Kong to Hainan, in the Baltic Sea between Gotland and Stockholm, and in the Med where they frequently cruise from St. Tropez to Ibiza or to Sardinia and back.

All the completed boats are tested in the fierce Nordic waters surrounding Gotland to ensure maximum capability, performance and safety for owners around the world.

The entire construction process is unhurried and characterized by exacting craftsmanship, a key aspect that everyone in the yard takes great pride in maintaining, under the guidance of master builder Johan Hallén, who has been with J Craft since its inception. Quality, in its most traditional form, takes time and it is not surprising there is a lengthy waiting list.

J Craft mixes unique values in a product of unparalleled quality, beauty, strength and durability.

For example, the Torpedo’s mahogany decking, which is lacquered and varnished 18 times, the leather trim and stainless-steel finishes, are all built to last thanks to ancient traditions and carefully selected manufacturing processes.

J Craft’s stands for great woodworking skills. The Torpedo’s polished woodwork is made from sustainably sourced, rainforest-free West African mahogany. The graceful, curved lines are made out of solid wood by using a steam-bending technique that has not changed since the Vikings built their original long ships.

This is all complemented by gorgeous Nardi steering wheels, fine Italian leathers and luxury fabrics from top designer brands. The result is a glamorous accessory for a new-life perspective on the water where excellence and innovation are in perfect balance.

Penta para acomodar el sistema IP sin timón que ofrece un manejo intuitivo y preciso sin esfuerzo. Los J Craft Torpedo están equipados con motores Volvo Penta IPS de última generación (Volvo Penta IPS 500, 600-R o 650-RS) para velocidades cercanas a los 50 nudos y una maniobrabilidad excepcional. Han realizado regularmente viajes largos, en el Mar de China Meridional desde Hong Kong a Hainan, en el Mar Báltico entre Gotland y Estocolmo, y en el Mediterráneo, donde con frecuencia navegan desde St. Tropez a Ibiza o Cerdeña y viceversa.

Todos los barcos terminados se ponen a prueba en las feroces aguas nórdicas que rodean Gotland para garantizar la máxima capacidad, rendimiento y seguridad para los propietarios de todo el mundo.

Todo el proceso de construcción transcurre sin prisas y se caracteriza por una artesanía exigente, un aspecto clave que todos en el astillero se enorgullecen de mantener, bajo la dirección del maestro de obras Johan Hallén, quien ha estado con J Craft desde sus inicios. La calidad, en su forma más tradicional, lleva tiempo y no sorprende que haya una larga lista de espera.

J Craft mezcla valores únicos en un producto de inigualable calidad, belleza, resistencia y durabilidad. Por ejemplo, la cubierta de caoba del Torpedo, que está lacada y barnizada 18 veces, las molduras de cuero y los acabados de acero inoxidable, están todos construidos para durar gracias a antiguas tradiciones y procesos de fabricación cuidadosamente seleccionados.

J Craft representa grandes habilidades para trabajar la madera.

La carpintería pulida del Torpedo está hecha de caoba de África Occidental de origen sostenible y libre de bosques tropicales.

Las elegantes líneas curvas están hechas de madera maciza utilizando una técnica de curvado al vapor que no ha cambiado desde que los

The open cockpit with two sundecks is designed to comfortably accommodate up to 10 adults plus a captain for day cruises. The spacious cabin, when needed, sleeps up to 4 guests in comfort.

J Craft will be available in the USA from 2023 onwards. Mr. Milakovic foresees the opening of a US office in Fort Lauderdale to ensure prompt assistance to the lucky owners in the Americas.

A Torpedo to US specs, complete with gyro stabilizers and latest technologies, will be presented during the first half of 2023 and you can expect to see this head-turner while she cruises New England in summer 2023.

I could easily visualize classy J Crafts docked at mansions with private docks in South Florida as well, whether in Palm Beach, Bal Harbor, South Beach, Key Biscayne, Coconut Grove, or Coral Gables.

These boats would add sophistication to anyone’s home.

With her classic, figure-of-eight shape, the Torpedo is much more than a clever collection of lines and curves. The unique design is the result of a long heritage of knowledge of the sea and the most contemporary Dolce Vita or det ljuva livet, as the Swedes would say!

Todo esto se complementa con hermosos volantes Nardi, finos cueros italianos y lujosas telas de las mejores marcas de diseño. El resultado es un accesorio glamoroso para una nueva perspectiva de la vida en el agua donde la excelencia y la innovación están en perfecto equilibrio. La cabina abierta con dos terrazas está diseñada para acoger cómodamente hasta 10 adultos más un capitán para cruceros de un día. La espaciosa cabina, cuando sea necesario, tiene capacidad para 4 personas.

J Craft estará disponible en EEUU a partir de 2023. El Sr. Milakovic prevé la apertura de una oficina estadounidense en Fort Lauderdale para garantizar la pronta asistencia a los afortunados propietarios en las Américas.

Un Torpedo con especificaciones de EEUU, completo con estabilizadores giroscópicos y las últimas tecnologías, se presentará durante la primera mitad de 2023 y fascinará a quienes lo vean navegando por Nueva Inglaterra en el verano de 2023.

Me puedo fácilmente imaginar a chic J Crafts atracados en los muelles privados de mansiones del Sur de la Florida también, ya sea en Palm Beach, Bal Harbour, South Beach, Key Biscayne, Coconut Grove o Coral Gables donde agregarían sofisticación a cualquier hogar.

Con su forma clásica en forma de ocho, el Torpedo es mucho más que una inteligente colección de líneas y curvas. El diseño único es el resultado de una larga herencia de conocimiento del mar y la Dolce Vita más contemporánea o det ljuva livet, como dirían los suecos. Para obtener más información, visite www.j-craftboats.com, donde también puede configurar su propio J Craft Torpedo.

Mi más profundo agradecimiento a Radenko Milakovic, propietario de J Craft, quien amablemente me invitó a pasar un par de días entre Port Grimaud y St Tropez para experimentar la magia de sus barcos.

f you’re looking for variety on a tropical bareboat charter, head to St. Martin and its neighbors, St. Barths and Anguilla.

Each island is a world of its own, the distances are short, the winds are predictable, and the food is divine.

Cruising here means landing at Princess Juliana Airport on Sint Maarten where the final descent flies over Maho Beach with jumbo jets coming to within feet of the sand just before touching down. People come from all over to watch this spectacle and to get tossed by jet exhaust when the big birds take off again.

St. Martin is also called Sint Maarten because half the island is French and half is Dutch but there’s no official (or even visible) border between the two sides. We landed on the Dutch side and took a taxi to the Dream Yacht Charter (DYC) base in Anse Marcel on the French side.

At the end of May, the season begins to wind down which means fewer crowds and better boat availability so we were upgraded to a 2019 Lagoon 450 S catamaran named Panui.

Our itinerary was laid out carefully to maximize time and minimize expense. You see, officially you need to check in and out of each country which is a slow and often expensive process. We decided to take a land tour of the Dutch side because traveling by car lets you skip this bureaucracy and then stick to the French side by boat. Since St. Barths is also French, that leaves only Anguilla to worry about.

S

i está buscando variedad en un chárter sin tripulación para algún destino tropical, diríjase a St. Martin y sus vecinas, St. Barths y Anguila. Cada isla es un mundo, las distancias son cortas, los vientos son predecibles y la comida es divina.

Navegar aquí significa aterrizar en el aeropuerto Princess Juliana en Sint Maarten, donde el descenso final sobrevuela Maho Beach con aviones que llegan a unos pies de la arena justo antes de aterrizar. Hay gente viene de todas partes para ver de cerca este espectáculo.

St. Martin también se llama Sint Maarten porque la mitad de la isla es francesa y la otra mitad es holandesa, pero no hay una frontera oficial (ni siquiera visible) entre los dos lados. Aterrizamos en el lado holandés y tomamos un taxi hasta la base de Dream Yacht Charter (DYC) en Anse Marcel en el lado francés.

A fines de mayo, la temporada alta comienza a disminuir, lo que significa menos multitudes y más disponibilidad de barcos, por lo que nos ascendieron a un catamarán Lagoon 450 S 2019 llamado Panui. Nuestro itinerario se diseñó cuidadosamente para maximizar el tiempo y minimizar los gastos. Oficialmente, uno debe registrarse para entrar y salir de cada país, lo cual es un proceso lento y, a menudo, costoso y por lo tanto, decidimos hacer un recorrido terrestre por el lado holandés. Viajar en coche te permite saltarte esta burocracia y luego quedarte en el lado francés en barco. Dado que St. Barths también es francés, solo nos quedaba preocuparnos de Anguila.

CRUISING & TRAVEL | CRUCEROS Y VIAJES

Anguilla is north of St. Martin with pristine beaches and a laidback vibe. However, Anguilla is British, so we were facing paperwork, Covid tests and fees. We found cheap Covid tests in Marigot, the capital of French St. Martin, filed our paperwork with the base and then pointed our bows north.

We arrived at Sandy Island first. It’s a spit of sand and coral with one beach bar that’s only open when someone comes over by boat, starts the generator and plugs in the blender. We dinghied to the beach via a narrow channel and landed right when everyone had gone so we had the place to ourselves.

The next day, we sailed up to Prickley Pear Cays (also a part of Anguilla). This pair of uninhabited islands has moorings on the south side but then you dinghy around to the sandy beach on the north side with its protective outer reef. Aside from pangas ferrying hotel traffic, we again were alone but this time, there was an open bar, so we idled the afternoon away with cool drinks and sand between our toes.

The next morning, we cut between Anguilla and St. Martin, heading northeast. It was the sole bash to windward of our week but it only lasted two hours and then we turned south toward St. Barths on the horizon, enjoying a brisk beam reach

| 44 | www.yachtingtimesmagazine.com

Anguilla está al norte de St. Martin con playas vírgenes y un ambiente relajado. Sin embargo, Anguila es británica, por lo que nos enfrentábamos al papeleo, las pruebas de Covid y las tarifas.

Encontramos pruebas baratas de covid en Marigot, la capital del St. Martin francés, archivamos nuestra documentación en la base y luego apuntamos nuestras proas hacia el norte.

Primero llegamos a Sandy Island, una lengua de arena y coral con un chiringuito que solo abre cuando alguien llega en barco, enciende el generador y enchufa la licuadora.

Navegamos en bote hasta la playa a través de un canal angosto y desembarcamos justo cuando todos se habían ido, así que teníamos el lugar para nosotros solos. Al día siguiente, navegamos hasta Prickley Pear Cays (también parte de Anguila), un par de islas deshabitadas con amarres en el lado sur y una playa de arena en el lado norte con un arrecife exterior protector. Aparte de las lanchas que transportaban el tráfico del hotel, nuevamente estábamos solos, pero esta vez había un bar abierto, así que pasamos la tarde holgazaneando con bebidas frías y arena entre los dedos de los pies.

A la mañana siguiente, cortamos entre Anguila y St. Martin, en dirección noreste. Fue la única navegada fuerte de proa

sail all the way down.

Unlike low key Anguilla, St. Barths is the glitzy sister of the trio. The capital of Gustavia is like Rodeo Drive with high fashion boutiques, fine dining and a superyacht clientele that frequents the island’s exclusive racing season including the St. Barths Bucket and Heineken regattas. It may not make sense to sail to the Caribbean to shop for a Dolce & Gabbana bag, but if you want one, you’ll find it here.

We anchored by Les Gros Islets and dinghied to the city dock to check in. The process here is very dialed-in due to the volume of upscale visitors and we were out looking for lunch in no time. We found a gourmet French meal at Le Repaire and then, to burn off some of those calories, we walked up to the lighthouse. The views of Gustavia Harbor and our anchored boat in the distance were worth the sweaty stroll. St. Barths has its own crazy airport where small prop planes drop vertically from the sky and then level out on the short runway on the windward side. They come in so dramatically, you think they’ll knock you on the head with their landing gear.

We stocked up on some provisions and spent a quiet night just outside of town. The next morning, we headed to nearby

de nuestra semana, pero solo duró dos horas y luego giramos hacia el sur hacia St. Barths en el horizonte, disfrutando de un través memorable.

A diferencia de la discreta Anguila, St. Barths es la deslumbrante hermana del trío. La capital de Gustavia es como Rodeo Drive con boutiques de alta costura, excelentes restaurantes y una clientela de superyates que frecuenta la exclusiva temporada de regatas de la isla, incluidas las regatas St. Barths Bucket y Heineken. Puede que no tenga sentido navegar hasta el Caribe para comprar un bolso de Dolce & Gabbana, pero si lo quieres, lo encontrarás aquí.

Fondeamos en los islotes de Les Gros y nos trasladamos en bote hasta el muelle de la ciudad para registrarnos. El proceso aquí es eficiente debido al gran volumen de visitantes de lujo que aquí llegan. Salimos a buscar el almuerzo en poco tiempo y encontramos comida gourmet francesa en Le Repaire y luego, para quemar algunas calorías, caminamos hasta el faro.

Las vistas del puerto de Gustavia y de nuestro barco fondeado a la distancia hicieron que valiese la pena el sudoroso paseo.

St. Barths tiene su propio aeropuerto, algo caótico, donde pequeños aviones de hélice caen verticalmente desde el cielo

Ile Fourchue, a high-sided island with a deep harbor. It’s a quiet place with great hiking and it’s making a comeback after it was nearly denuded by goats. In early days, it was the hideaway of Balthazar Biguard, a Frenchman fleeing the French Revolution. He lived his hermit lifestyle here for many years and is buried on the island.

It was nearing the time to start heading back north so we set sail for Tintamarre Island National Park where we caught a mooring and reset ourselves back to broad beaches and leisurely swims after the glamour of St. Barths. Because Tintamarre is a park, we couldn’t stay the night on our mooring, so we headed west two miles and anchored off Ile Pinel and its two bars, both of which were blissfully closed so we enjoyed a quiet night.

For our last evening, we returned to the northwestern corner of St. Martin to Grande Anse, a colorful tiny town with one main street chock full of galleries and eateries serving up giant lobsters and local beer. The DYC marina in Anse Marcel is just around the corner so we didn’t have far to go to return our boat. However, the marina entrance is narrow and tricky

y luego se nivelan en la pista corta en el lado de barlovento.

Entran tan dramáticamente que crees que te golpearán en la cabeza con su tren de aterrizaje.

Compramos algunas provisiones y pasamos una noche tranquila en las afueras de la ciudad. A la mañana siguiente, nos dirigimos a la cercana Ile Fourchue, un lugar tranquilo con excelentes senderos y que está recuperando su encanto luego de que las cabras casi lo despojaran por completo de hierba. En sus inicios, fue el escondite de Balthazar Biguard, un francés que huía de la Revolución Francesa y vivió como ermitaño aquí durante muchos años y está enterrado en la isla.

Se acercaba el momento de regresar al norte, así que zarpamos hacia el Parque Nacional de la Isla de Tintamarre, donde amarramos y volvimos a las amplias playas para nadar tranquilamente después del glamour de St. Barths. Al ser Tintamarre un parque, no pudimos pasar la noche en nuestro amarre así que nos dirigimos dos millas hacia el oeste y anclamos en Ile Pinel y sus dos bares, los cuales, afortunadamente, estaban cerrados por lo que disfrutamos de una noche tranquila.

Para nuestra última noche, regresamos al noroeste de St. Martin

which is why the base insists on driving guests out and also back in. Since they had my VISA card on file for damages, I didn’t put up a fuss and when I saw that it took three guys and a dinghy to get the boat back into the slip, I didn’t feel a bit bad about relinquishing the helm These islands are a sailor’s paradise, but DYC also charters powercats so powertboaters can cruise as well. The next time you want to go to only one place but want to experience multiple worlds, start on St. Martin. You won’t be disappointed.

Tips Stay out of Simpson Bay and Phillipsburg on Sint. Maarten for check-ins. Fast, cheap and easy check-ins can be done in Margiot at Ile Marine fuel dock or in Anse Marcel at the marina.

See at least one jet land at Maho but stay out of the path of those taking off unless you’re looking for a heavy exfoliation by way of flying sand.

Provision lightly because you won’t want to miss the many bakeries, pastry shops and restaurants serving up the best island-influenced French fare. | 48 | www.yachtingtimesmagazine.com

a Grande Anse, una pequeña y colorida ciudad con una calle principal repleta de galerías y restaurantes que sirven langostas gigantes y cerveza local. El puerto deportivo DYC en Anse Marcel está a la vuelta de la esquina, así que no tuvimos que ir muy lejos para devolver nuestro barco. Sin embargo, la entrada del puerto deportivo es estrecha y complicada, por lo que la base insiste en sacar sus barcos y también en volverlos a entrar.

Como tenían guardado el número de mi tarjeta de VISA en caso de daños, no armé un escándalo y cuando vi que precisaron de tres hombres y un bote para volver a poner el barco en el amarre, no me sentí nada mal por renunciar al timón.

Estas islas son un paraíso para los navegantes a vela, pero DYC también alquila barcos a motor. La próxima vez que quiera ir a un solo lugar, pero prefiera experimentar múltiples mundos, comience en St. Martin. No le decepcionará.

Consejos • Manténgase fuera de Simpson Bay y Phillipsburg en Sint Maarten para los registros. El check-in rápido, económico y fácil se puede realizar en Marigot en el muelle de combustible de Ile Marine o en Anse Marcel en el puerto deportivo.

• Vea al menos un avión aterrizar en Maho, pero manténgase fuera del camino de los que despegan a menos que esté buscando una fuerte exfoliación facial con arena voladora.

• Aprovisione con moderación ya que no querrá perderse las muchas panaderías y pastelerías de la isla así como sus magníficos restaurantes donde sirven la mejor comida francesa con influencia isleña.

A pop of color in a necklace, leather bag, wool scarf, or in accenting on footwear, can add a little flare; especially when styled for evening wear or a jet black suit. However, more style-conscious dressers and shoppers may find that mixing various materials and textures all in black delivers an even more chic impact.

Most of the same applies to design and décor for the home so long as you stay true to your limits. Make sure your noir centers any living space to your liking. Then again, with a revisit to the basics, maybe your interiors and furnishings need a facelift. Take for example the bold and black Studio Henk’s Cosy Sofa 3.5.

Para aquellos más conscientes de su estilo les vendrá mejor combinar varios materiales y texturas en negro para aportar un toque más chic.

Lo mismo se puede aplicar a la decoración del hogar siempre que no se pase de la raya. Asegúrese de que el negro se vuelva el centro de atención. Puede que sus interiores y sus muebles necesiten un cambio y para ello no hay nada como el atrevido sofá negro Cosy Sofa de Henk 3.5.

Empaque el mismo bañador negro para Palm Beach y Antigua y añada un caftán de colores vibrantes, un sombrero y un pareo para mantener la variedad.
