Every Day
Serious Fun Bridge Party
Every day after racing they will be making a show out of the bridge openings.
All participants are asked to make a show of their bridge entry, by dancing on the deck, dressing up and getting the crowd crazy. Judges will be seated on the deck of the Sint Maarten Yacht Club, to score the boats on originality, effort and the best crowd response.
