VIDEO: A taste of spring

Winter finally arrived for boaters in the United States, so for those whose boats are tucked away, it’s time to daydream about the season that lies ahead.

Whether you’re a powerboater or a sailor, a competitive racer or a casual cruiser, this clip we found highlighting the annual Caribbean regatta Les Voiles de St. Barth should put a smile on your face.

The seventh edition of Les Voiles de Saint-Barth (set for April 11-16) will feature world-class sailors racing some of the world’s most beautiful boats around the scenic French-speaking Caribbean island commonly known (to the French) as Saint Barthélemy.
