SECOND LIFE

PICTURE THIS • Summer might be slow in making an appearance in Europe this year, but the Caribbean season is in full swing with brochureperfect conditions at the Les Voiles de St Barth Richard Mille regatta this April. The Lombard 46 Pata Negra, Mills 41 Final Final and Swan 58 Wave Walker show their colours on a fun spinnaker leg to a rock rounding in CSA 1.

PICTURE THIS • Sparkly reflections on a shoal draught cruiser. Some peaceful motorsailing through the narrow pass by Cap de Creus, north of Cadaques, near the Med Spanish/French border, following plenty of memorable fast reaching on this new Outremer 52 during our two day liveaboard test. See page 58 for more and the full report.
