St Barths Bucket Regatta 2012
22 March 2012 - 25 March 2012The primary reason for the success of the Bucket Regattas is that the emphasis is more upon wholesome fun than about winning.
The first St. Barths Bucket was sailed in 1995 with a fleet of 4 yachts; SARIYAH, the 131’ S & S ketch, Tom Taylor’s 108’ Ron Holland ketch, GLEAM, Nelson Doubleday’s 130’ Palmer Johnson ketch, MANDALAY and PARLAY, the Alden design 127’ Ketch.
Within a decade, the St. Barths Bucket expanded beyond all reasonable expectations. With a limit of 30 yachts required by the local Authorities to keep a handle on the event, the Bucket has been all but full every year since 2005. In recent years, the fleet has overflowed with applicants even before the Notice of Race is published!
As the Bucket Regattas have evolved, the organizers have kept a tight focus on maintaining the original, non-commercial flavor of the event.
The primary reason for the success of the Bucket Regattas is that the emphasis is more upon wholesome fun than about winning. The stated goal is to “win the party”. The omnipresent, over riding conundrum for the Bucket Raced Committee is to convince the most competitive owners on planet (demonstrated by the fact that they own these things in the first place) that winning isn’t important!!

WILLIAM TAI, Royal Huisman
WILLIAM TAI, finalist in last year’s World Superyacht Awards, can be viewed at this year’s St Barth’s Bucket.
WILLIAM TAI is in absolutely first class condition after her complete refit at the Yard that built her, Royal Huisman (approx 4,000,000 Euro). The current Owner’s substantial investment has ensured that no more than routine maintenance will be required for the foreseeable future. All technical systems and hardware have been serviced and upgraded as required in addition to the restyling of the interior and exterior. Further upgrades have been made with the installation of VSAT in addition to a new mizzen, staysail and genoa from North Sails.
The asking price has been reduced by 2,000,000 Euro and she is now offered at the revised asking price of 10,500,000 Euro.
