At sea with Siebensee: Two superyacht furniture giants join forces

The following morning participating yachts will enjoy a cruise in company to the neighboring island of St Martin, home to the world-renowned Belmond, La Samanna.  Photographers will be on hand to capture the Between the Bays fleet underway on a cruise across the Anguillan channel.

Another added bonus is that the flight time to get to these mountains is usually reduced, and runs may end right on the shoreline, meaning that skiers and snowboarders can watch seals or penguins after they descend, before returning to the yacht by tender.

The second day gives attendees the chance to discover why Anguilla is considered one of the Caribbean’s most sought-after cruising destinations. Guests will take part in an island adventure with each yacht working together to decipher hints, enjoy activities and find hidden treasures around the island.

Controlled by a wireless remote with eight-speed settings, the board can run for an hour at a standard speed and can reach up to 16mph. A hydrofoil fin allows the board to skim the water (so there’s less bump from the waves). There’s a handle on both sides making it easy to climb up from the water and hold on when using it like a body board.

The hints and activities will celebrate Anguilla’s history and culture and give an insight into the varied activities it has to offer visitors. Guests will then enjoy beach games and a Belmond Beach pop-up luncheon in Crocus Bay at one of Anguilla’s most picturesque white-sand beaches – the perfect place to sample a traditional rum punch.

Organisers of the 37th America’s Cup have confirmed the dates and scheduled for the 2024 regatta. Taking place in Barcelona, the event will kick off on Saturday 12 October and wrap up on Sunday October 20, with two races held on each official day of the regatta. 

What to do in Barcelona

  • Newport is as much a tourist town as it is a seafarer city
  • The park is on the waterfront, which means boats can anchor out
  • The most famous harbor on Narragansett Bay is the one Newport

No trip to Barcelona is complete without a visit to Parc Guëll, another one of Gaudi’s many masterpieces scattered throughout the city. The park sits a little further out from the heart of Barcelona but is just a short drive away.

Official racing days are on the 12, 13, 19 and 20 October. The Women’s America’s Cup Regatta Final will be held on October 16, while October 18 will serve as a spare race day. There are a further three days marked as reserve race days, which can be used at the discretion of organisers dependent on weather and water conditions.

The news comes after Barcelona was named as the host of the America’s Cup in March. The city was chosen for a variety of reasons, including its racing facilities, technical infrastructure and large on-shore area for hosting spectators, hospitality and media. The region also benefits from 9-15 knots of wind during the September race window, making it ideal regatta conditions.

The Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron is the current holder and Trustee of the America’s Cup. “Barcelona holds a very special place in New Zealand’s sailing history and we remember with pride the success of our 1992 Olympic Games sailing team and four medal result,” said commodore of the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron Aaron Young.

This year will be the first time the event has been held in Barcelona, making the city the first venue to host both an Olympic Games and an America’s Cup. The 2024 event will also be the first edition to include a specific Women’s America’s Cup regatta.
