The Driving Force Behind the Regatta...
The 2013 St.Maarten Heineken Regatta Steering Committee has become, over the years, a well oiled machine that is powered by a hard working and dedicated group of people.
Consisting mainly out of volunteers, this group of individuals commit themselves to working year round on this one of a kind event. The Director's Office oversees all members of the Steering Committee and their tasks and meets with them regularly to keep the event on track.
