All Sails Up for the BVI Owners' Rendezvous 2024
MARCH 9-16 | BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS
What started in 2012 continued this year with 13 boats and more than 50 attendees coming from all over the United States and Canada. Some, like Paul and Karen Novak of Reston, VA, had done this event several times before. For others, like Kevin and Emily Hawkins of San Diego, CA, this was their first BVI Owners' Rendezvous and, in fact, their first time to the BVI.
Kevin and Emily Hawkins enjoy a day at The Baths on Virgin Gorda. Kevin and Emily chartered a SO 440 but also own a 440 which is a recent upgrade from their previous Jeanneau, a Sun Odyssey 349. Congrats!!
A sail rally to North Sound, Hobie Cat racing at the Bitter End Yacht Club, a dock-tail contest, great dinners, brilliant sunsets, awesome sailing, and a fantastic finale pirate party were all part of the Jeanneau Owners' Rendezvous—BVI 2024!
