Racing
Our fleet's racing calendar includes six Diam 24 Caribbean Championship Regattas and several other multi-class events. Some are short, high-tempo, Grand Prix style; others are long-distance races with offshore passages between Saint Martin and neighboring islands like St. Barths and Anguilla, testing endurance as much as boat speed. And a few are marquee, world-class events, but none bigger than the Heineken Regatta, one of the Caribbean's best-known sailing regattas with plenty of action on the water and an extensive entertainment lineup on shore.
Whether you're training for your first Grand Prix or building toward a full championship season, the calendar below lays out what's coming up — where, when, and how to find out more.

Club Racing
Outside the championship calendar, SMSC runs a regular club racing schedule for members and visiting crews. These are shorter, lower-stakes events — still competitive one-design racing, and a good way to log time on the boats between bigger events. New to racing? Club races are also the easiest way to get a feel for one-design fleet racing before committing to a full regatta campaign.
Ready to Race?
Racing with SMSC starts with picking your path. Charter a boat for a single regatta, join a Training Clinic and Race Prep session ahead of your target event, or race with us for a full season of club racing. Get in touch with your dates and goals, and we'll help you build a race schedule that fits.
