Re: Stus-List Sailing Racing courses in BVI
There is a lot of companies offering places for racing in the BVI Spring regatta, some offer one or two days practice onboard prior to the regatta to get familiar with the boat and the crew. It's not really a "racing school", where you will learn stuff like how to get a good start, and match racing tactics, but it is a good intro to racing on bigger boats. Imagine doing that with a bunch on friends and race in the Carribean on something else than a bareboat! these boats are usually fairly competitive with competent skippers. I've done the BVI spring regatta in 2012 and the Heineken in st-Maarteen in 2013. Both times on private boats in the spin class. It is really a lot of fun. Hard to beat.
