Water Revolution Foundation launches Sustainable Yacht Design

Often regarded as one of the world’s most prestigious superyacht regattas, the St Barths Bucket welcomes some of the finest sailing talent from around the world to the port of Gustavia each year for three days of racing around the breezy Caribbean islands. After a two year hiatus, the Bucket is back from March 17 to March 20 with an impressive lineup of thirty yachts, each vying for the top prize.
