Friendship Rose on Bequia
Everyone living on Bequia knows the Friendship Rose. Three brothers built her by hand from local wood on Friendship Bay between 1963 and 1967 and she was used as a mail boat, a cargo boat and then a ferry.
Her fate was uncertain until she was renovated and restyled as a pleasure cruiser, running day trips around the Grenadines.

"The regatta's a beautiful sight. To see fifty or sixty old double ender fishing boats out there competing, racing. It is beautiful."
Nollie Simmonds
The Regatta is a four-day festival of sail with old schooners, sleek racers and traditional Bequia style dinghies.
