Match Race

For the past 10 years we have hosted an International Grade 1 or 2 match race each December. The invitations differ each year but always include the Worlds best Match Racers and the Charlotte Amalie Harbor is presented as one of the best destinations for Stadium Sailing.

The St. Thomas Yacht Club and the Virgin Islands Sailing Association together believe this is one of the sport’s most unique match races, as it pulls together the best attributes from many other events and combines them into one of the best sailing venues in the world!  The Match Race is sailed along a seawall in downtown Charlotte Amalie with the courses set less than 50 yards from the spectators allowing for fantastic action views and race interaction. The event offers both an open division and a woman’s division that provides for great sailing and even better prospects for after race entertainment. The rum and tequila drinks are all “free” as are many meals. The “reggae” music starts right after the de–briefs as does the dancing.  Attending the CAMR will turn you into a match race lover for life. Please join us St. Thomas for this great event!
