What this video covers

The crew of SV Delos participates in the 37th Bequia Annual Easter Regatta in the Grenadines, navigating a 53-foot cruising boat in light-wind conditions.5:45 After struggling with buoy racing in 3-knot winds, the crew withdraws from the official event and organizes a self-styled "Fungada" series.10:09 This alternative itinerary involves an around-the-island sail, scuba diving at steep wall sites near Bequia, and slacklining.19:49 The crew notes that SV Delos, heavily loaded with cruising gear, performs poorly in light-air, close-quarters buoy racing but excels in 20-knot winds.20:24 Despite their withdrawal from the official race, the crew receives third place in the cruising class due to handicap scoring.25:14 The experience highlights the challenges of racing a heavy, fully-equipped cruising vessel against purpose-built race boats like the J105 Dog Smile.25:52 The crew concludes the trip by departing Bequia for Carriacou and Grenada to prepare the vessel for storage.28:50
