The ninth Les Voiles de St. Barth has enjoyed two days of spectacular racing, with photo galleries and videos posted on the event’s website, www.lesvoilesdesaintbarth.com. The images are astonishingly beautiful and exciting, as evidenced by the few sampled here. If you’re in need of a mid-workweek refresher, take a look.

Conditions are ideal for racing — and photography — with an easterly of 17 knots blowing at the tiny Caribbean island of Saint Barthélemy this afternoon.
