This event was founded by volunteers some 29 years ago when several
people got together and decided to have a regatta. Today that small
event has turned into one with over 280 competitors, and more than 150
volunteers. It is this group of people that keeps this regatta going,
through 2 days of registration, four days of sailing and numerous
parties. Without these volunteers the atmosphere surrounding the
St.Maarten Heineken Regatta would be entirely different. People of
different nationalities, from many different countries all come
together to volunteer their time and energy. Ask any of the people
wearing the regatta team shirts why they like it so much and you will
receive many different reasons. Click here to read more...
