Yole Sailing Regatta, Martinique

These are the smaller of two sizes of Yole racing boats heavily competed in Martinique. We didn't see the bigger, two masted versions, but these were exciting enough, and they sailed very hard. No rudder, No keel, and no ballast except the crew. Capsizes are permenent (until a tow to shore).
