Raphaël Grisoni fondly recalls his own record-breaking victory in
2014, as well as the benefits of participating in the event. “Last year
we broke the absolute record in the monohull category with the VO70
Mount Gay Monster Project. The feeling was amazing. The event also
provided the opportunity to bring on board customers and friends to
sail on the water.”

Sailing enthusiasts look forward to the picturesque display of
Mount Gay’s red-branded baseball caps, which will dot the coastline of
Barbados from January 16th to the 24th 2015, as well as the honks of
the Race Committee’s horn when we will learn who the year’s record
breakers are.
