Ugh...this trickle-down affect is just so overwhelming on so many levels....leaves us speechless.

:(
 
here is the english version of that, and yes so much hard work and effort into these events, not to mention the economic blow to the island - just getting fully back on its feet since Irma

Les Voiles de St. Barth Richard Mille Cancelled

Dear participants, sponsors, partners, and friends of Les Voiles,

In light of the most recent information concerning the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic around the world, and the new travel restrictions that have been announced, it is with great regret that the organizers of Les Voiles de St. Barth Richard Mille have made the decision, in consultation with the Prefecture and the Collectivity of St. Barthélemy, to cancel the regatta initially scheduled for April 12-18, 2020.

The health and wellbeing of all the competitors, sponsors, and volunteers, as well as the residents of the island of St. Barthélemy remains an absolute priority. François Tolède, Luc Poupon, and the entire staff of Les Voiles sincerely thank you for your commitment to this event, which we will hold once again next year, April 11-17, 2021.

We will also send you all of the official announcements from the Collectivity and the Prefecture on this subject.

We remain at your disposition and are available to answer each and every one of your questions. We hope that things go as well as possible during these difficult times.

Most sincerely,
The staff of Les Voiles de St. Barth Richard Mille
