The 2013 Bucket marked the first time in 76 years that five J-Class yachts were in the same place at the same time to compete with one another. The J’s on hand were Hanuman, Lionheart, Ranger, Velsheda and Rainbow. And it is a true testament to a handful of owners’ love of tradition, coupled with insanity, that has led to a resurgence of the J-Class.
Taking place March 28 to 31, this year’s St. Barths Bucket is fast approaching. The fantastic yachts, the glorious sailing, the unparalleled venue, the raucous parties, the perfect weather, the cast of characters…you simply can’t beat the Bucket.
