Those looking for something to do in March that isn’t cold and wet and fast and furious might want to consider something more relaxed…and warm. After all, most of the major yacht racing events organisers have not announced their calendars yet, so we don’t know if there is an America’s Cup event in Australia, or China or some other valuable global market.
So if you are not heading to the city of sails Auckland in March for the Volvo Ocean Race stopover, consider cruising around the Caribbean. It’s not exactly a racers dream, but sometimes you have to relax – right?
Nautor’s Swan has announced the dates of their 2012 ClubSwan Caribbean Rendezvous. This will be the 9th annual Caribbean based Rendezvous for the internationally renowned luxury sailing yacht manufacturer. Dates for 2012 are from the 12th through to the 17th March with the Rendezvous kicking off from the Bitter End Yacht Club in the British Virgin Islands.
The brochure promises:
…six days of uninterrupted enjoyment based cruising is top priority within an agenda that is expected to attract Swan owners the world over. The Rendezvous style is the perfect opportunity to invite friends and family to get into the Swan Spirit and to experience the sheer joy of cruising in one of the most sought after yachting regions of the globe.
With four islands set to visit there will be plenty of sailing time for the committed yachter as well as ample down time to partake in wider water based activities. It is the ideal chance to try diving and snorkelling in pristine turquoise waters that are not only clear but warm to the touch.
But since this is a site for those who like to race, there is always the option of some friendly competition taking the form of low key dinghy racing and games of boules!!
Who wouldn’t want to do that?
March is one of the driest months on the British Virgin Islands The trade winds offer a steady breeze which will take the Swan fleet calmly from island to island throughout the structured cruise and participants can relax safe in the knowledge that they are safe in the hands of the experienced Nautor’s Swan management.
