Practical

Position is Gustavia harbour (approx). Typically held in March over three days. Expect the harbour and outer anchorage to be crowded and specific anchoring restrictions on race days - call the port on VHF 12 before arriving and keep clear of race areas off the west coast. Spectators: the hills above Gustavia and Colombier. Check the current year's dates before planning; the 2026 island events calendar consulted did not list it.
