We will be sailing in a 37ft Beneteau First Class Europe "Aquarela". Depending on the crew's experience, we will race in either Racing Class or Racer/Cruiser class.

| 2005 Tobago Race Week in May |
The plan would be for the boat to leave Trinidad on the Thursday evening, July 7th arriving in Grenada on Friday morning. You can join the boat on the trip across to Grenada (approx 16hrs) or take a flight to Port of Spain on Thursday evening then on to Grenada early on Friday Morning.
Racing starts at 10:30am on Friday the 8th Caribbean Star and Liat both have flights leaving Port of Spain early in the morning so you can make the race even if you leave POS on Friday morning. Flights are as follows for 8th July: Caribbean Star 792 POS Grenada 0625 0705, Liat 310 POS Grenada 0600 0635.
