The Sint Maarten Yacht Club not only hosts the St. Maarten Heineken Regatta but also many events to support development of the next generation of sailors 💫⁣ ⁣ One such event was the recent St. Maarten Budget Marine Optimist Championship held last month, which brought in competitive youth sailors from neighboring islands.⁣ ⁣ No sailors’ journey to the event was as impressive as Carrack Jones’ who set a record for the passage between his home island of Antigua and St. Maarten — on his optimist! ⁣
