There were Irish celebrations at St Barths Bucket Superyacht Regatta in the Caribbean at the weekend when the part-Irish crewed WinWin won its class over three days racing in 20+ knots conditions.

On board, the 33m superyacht from Ireland was Timothy Goodbody (tactician), Simon Johnson (crew boss) and bowman Cian Guilfoyle.

Winds were strong for the three races in which WINWIN took two wins. "It gets pretty hectic on these big boats in those kinds of conditions", Johnson told Afloat.

As regular Afloat readers know, Guilfoyle and Johnson are regulars on the 44Cup circuit, and Timothy Goodbody Junior is a 2008 Irish Olympic sailor in the Finn class.

The St Barths Bucket Regatta is an annual boat race held in Saint Barthélemy, in the Caribbean. It is usually held in the month of March.
