Great Success of Oyster yachts at Tahiti Pearl Regatta in French Polynesia

May 17, 2013

The Tahiti Pearl Regatta represents probably the most famous regatta in the lovely yacht charter destination – French Polynesia. This year’s event was attended by more than 50 yachts, including eleven spectacular examples of Oyster Yachts.

The record entry for the regatta was largely due to the arrival of the Oyster World Rally in French Polynesia. Each year, Oyster Yachts organise regattas exclusively for Oyster owners and their guests and the lure of joining the fun in French Polynesia proved attractive to a number of Oyster Yachts from the World Rally fleet, enabling a unique Oyster Class.

The Oyster contingent included: Amelie, Babe, Mariela, Pandemonium, Proteus, Purusha, Satika, Sotto Vento, Spent, Yantina and Wolfhound.

The Tahiti Pearl Regatta started from beautiful South Pacific island of Raiatea. Situated between Bora Bora and Tahiti, Raiatea is known as the ‘sacred island’, the cultural heart of all Polynesia. The Island has a fascinating history filled with legends, as well as the regions most significant archaeological sites. The competitors enjoyed two days of festivities including a night parade at Uturoa harbour with a Polynesian show, including traditional songs and dancing.

The race to Huahine Island was a memorable occasion; the lush tropical island is arguably the most picturesque in all of French Polynesia. Steep mountains rising above secluded bays with breath-taking emerald green water and stunning sandy coves makes the island one of the most sort-after locations in the South Pacific. However, the island is very sparsely populated and can only be visited by boat. Relaxing and stress free, Huahine is a place to find solitude and peace.

The race to Huahine was a lively affair with 20 knots of easterly wind making for a fast passage. The final part of the race was downwind, giving a spectacular spinnaker finale. With an international Oyster fleet, the USA Oyster 82 superyacht  Pandemonium took line honours in the monohull class completing the 14-mile race in two hours but after time correction, the class winner was British owned Oyster 655 yacht Proteus. The race back to Raiatea was a light airs affair. After the racing programme was completed the Oyster class was won by the German owned Oyster 56 yacht Mariela. The Swiss Oyster 575 sailing yacht Satika was second and the Oyster 655 yacht Proteus was third.

Speaking after the regatta, the Oyster 82 yacht Pandemonium skipper said: “We are very pleased and proud to represent the Oyster Family here at the Pearl Tahiti Regatta, racing in a remote location can cause issues especially if by pushing the boat, things get broken. However, Oysters are well engineered and big thanks to Debbie and Eddie from Oyster, we have had ‘on location’ customer service throughout the world rally. We love the diversity of the people taking part and the scenery is just fantastic. The festivities ashore have been wonderful, especially the Polynesian night put on by locals, which was spectacular and really entertaining to see sailors joining in with the dancers! All of the Pandemonium crew have really enjoyed the regatta.”

The finale for the Tahiti Pearl Regatta was a fabulous crew night under the theme of Pirates of the Pacific. Competitors enjoyed fabulous Polynesian fayre under the moonlight with Hula dancing and traditional music.

The Oyster World Rally started five months ago in Antigua, nearly 7,000 miles from French Polynesia. The next scheduled rendezvous for the Oyster World Rally will be in Tonga towards the end of May 2013.

The news follows the company’s investment into the opening of a high-capacity network on the Intelsat 18 satellite that first became operational in November 2011. This provides the capacity to enable enhanced broadband internet coverage and network services via Ku-band coverage platform over French Polynesia.

Charter yachts in French Polynesia (Tahiti) to benefit from high-speed BroadBEAM by OmniAccess

When cruising among these remote islands in the South Pacific, connection speeds of up to 20Mbps can now be achieved via the OmniAccess BroadBEAM ULTRA service. As a result, charter yachts, private and commercial vessels can enjoy a real broadband experience at sea with applications such as Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) streaming, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), videoconferencing and cloud computing.

Previously internet connectivity has been extremely limited due to only one satellite, with limited bandwidth, covering the region.

Carlos Carbajal, Managing Director of Yacht Services at OmniAccess, said: “Our new network on the unique beam of the Intelsat 18 satellite offers unparalleled coverage with unprecedented power and ideal elevation. It provides a significant improvement to the internet connectivity enjoyed by those in French Polynesia and will revolutionise the internet experience of those cruising in the region.”

OmniAccess is also able to offer its BroadBEAM compact service to sailing yachts or motor yachts with limited deck space and reduced size antennas as a result of the investment into the new high capacity network. High bandwidth can now be supplied in small and lightweight 60cm antennas.
