The 46th St. Maarten Heineken Regatta Grand Finale delivers intense racing as winds surpass 35 knots. Day 4 proves challenging; teams reel in mainsails and Cockatoo flies a storm jib amidst towering waves. Classes launch from Cole Bay and Simpson Bay, navigating coastal and windward-leeward courses. CSA4 sees a fierce battle, with Jackknife powering to victory after a dramatic first race where Belladonna struggles with their spinnaker. The leaderboard shifts dramatically, crowning class champions after four days of competition. CSA1 stands out, confidently hoisting spinnakers while others hesitate. "Wildest and windiest regatta ever," declares the crew of Panacea X, champions in CSA5. The Diam 24 fleet faces capsizes but all crews are safely assisted. Day 4 exemplifies the regatta's diverse fleet, with boats of all sizes crossing paths, showcasing the international spirit of sailing.
