Unofficially dubbed the "biggest little regatta in the Caribbean," the Scotiabank Caribbean International Optimist Regatta, hosted by St. Thomas Yacht Club in the U.S. Virgin Islands, is set to sail for its 15th time from June 21 to 24, 2007. A starting line with 80-plus skippers from 8 to 15 years of age is expected, and participants will hail from all three U.S. Virgin Islands, the British Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Bermuda, Trinidad and other Caribbean island nations such as Martinique and St. Lucia. “We’re also expecting up to four teams of sailors from the U.S. mainland, Florida and New York,” says Karen Rice, who co-directs this year’s regatta with Cindy Hackstaff.
