St Maarten Heineken Regatta - And The Winners Truly Are...

Editor's Comments: Today was the last day of racing at the St Maarten Heineken Regatta. We have had great reports from the event by our friend Dick Johnson. We'd like to extend a special thank you to him for his diligence in giving us the complete story. We'd also like to commend Tim Wright on another set of spectacular images.
