With regatta season in full swing, we received an interesting letter from a man who has experienced more than most when it comes to organizing Caribbean sailing events, Robbie Ferron. Not only does Mr Ferron race and campaign his own boat around the islands, he has put together regattas of all types from huge 300 boat, four day affairs to tiny afternoon events designed to get people out on the water to not only compete, but to have fun during and after the event. This brings us to the crux of the letter where Mr Ferron argues in favor of the ‘after party’, championing his cause with conviction borne out of experience. According to his argument, when done right there is much mileage to be made from an after party and it goes way beyond just beer and a bash. Do you agree?
