It was a perfect race for us.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/262032/image/large-3b5b9f18e2aeb1b28744676f0fdc61b6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/262032"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/262031/image/large-0ec3a3f6dab99fc18126e6e86b5123fb.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/262031">Race Day 2The second day saw yet another high wind event with 25-27 knots over the 23-26 nautical mile course. “It was a lot of wave action and wind, with gust of 25-27 knots,” said Steve Rowland, the owner/driver of the 34 metre sloop <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/72" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nakupenda33.24m (109'1&quot;)Royal Denship A/S2005">Nakupenda</a>, which now leads Les Mademoiselles after suffering a steering problem and finishing fourth yesterday. “It made for a lot of hard work, but we won, so I guess that was a good thing!” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/262028/image/large-63d1c5872098bfe93ae5d3dd11b57f38.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/262028"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/262030/image/large-4420de271e2f182aa983a156bd435a38.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/262030">The yacht was the fourth to cross the start line, but was the first to cross the finish line, despite an issue with her spinnaker during the opening leg.

In all classes, the leaders of Day 2 held their own to clinch overall victory on the final race day.“The wind and sea state was definitely at the upper end for some boats, and certainly for the Race Committee making decisions,” said Race Chairman Peter Craig. “Typically, we sail around the island on Sunday, but we made a decision to keep the boats in the lee of St. Barths for the larger part of today’s race with a course option that was newly added to the Bucket this year.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/262059/image/large-752263cd59cbb776f083830aeaf328c1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/262059"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/262060/image/large-e591bf54e38666089bf3a4465ed2aa27.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/262060"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/72" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nakupenda33.24m (109'1&quot;)Royal Denship A/S2005">Nakupenda</a> won the six-boat Mademoiselles to take overall victory in that class with a 4-1-1 score line. “I’m over the top about it,” said <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/72" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nakupenda33.24m (109'1&quot;)Royal Denship A/S2005">Nakupenda</a>’s owner/driver Steve Rowland, explaining that this is his fourth Bucket with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/72" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nakupenda33.24m (109'1&quot;)Royal Denship A/S2005">Nakupenda</a> and his first class win, not to mention overall victory, which is decided by a number of factors including performance and time differentials. “We were in a three-way tie going into today with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7754" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bequia27.61m (90'7&quot;)Brooklin Boat Yard 2009">Bequia</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5558" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Action37.3m (122'5&quot;)Royal Huisman Shipyard BV2015">Action</a>, so we knew we had to beat both of them.

The St Barths Bucket 2023 came to a close over the weekend with Nakupenda taking the top spot.

St Barths Bucket 2023: Nakupenda winner, with Red Dragon and Prana awarded special prizes 

When it comes to debates which rage within the yachting industry in 2022, that of ‘motor vs. sail’ remains enduringly popular. The obvious advantages of opting for a motor yacht include the comparative ease of getting from A to B without relying on weather conditions, as well as their boosted capacity for housing both liveable onboard space and all of the modern amenities which are now seen as part-and-parcel of superyacht ownership.&nbsp;On the other hand, there remains a small, but dedicated core of yacht owners keen to tout the advantages of sailing yachts, whether that be their lessened environmental impact or the incomparable pleasure which awaits a sailing yacht owner at the helm. Indeed, it is rare to find an individual who crosses over between these two firmly divided camps.&nbsp;One such individual who has made this leap, however, can be found stateside: the proud Californian owner of one of the season’s most hotly-anticipated launches, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3031" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lynx Yachts (Company)">Lynx Yachts</a>’ 27.4-metre Crossover motor yacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/9444" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Avontuur27.4m (89'11&quot;)Lynx Yachts2022">Avontuur</a>, which first touched water in the Netherlands in March and has now completed sea trials.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/223488/image/large-31ad33f6134c0387f7182895761cde44.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/223488">A competent captain with a yachting resume as long as your arm, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/9444" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Avontuur27.4m (89'11&quot;)Lynx Yachts2022">Avontuur</a>’s owner has 1300+ documented days’ experience on the water across locations as diverse as Tahiti, Canada, Alaska and the Mediterranean and is comfortable operating both sailing and motor yachts up to 100 feet (approx. 30-metres). When it came to choosing his first-ever boat to be built for himself, however, it was the motor which came out firmly on top.As he explains: “I grew up with sailboats: our first ever family boat was a Swan 36 owned by my parents, and so my early life was always about being out on the water sailing. But then as my parents grew older, my 3 sisters and I had children, it became impractical to fit everyone on board a sailing yacht, so we made the switch to motor.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/223494/image/large-f8b33ee5394a0779c03c3b311abbdced.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/223494">While a motor yacht provided more space for his burgeoning family, it also offered this sporty owner the opportunity to store more of his water sports gear. “When I used to try and take surfboards, scuba diving and windsurfing equipment on board the sailing yachts, this gear was always in the way. Even on most motor yachts, finding room for all my sports equipment proved difficult.“After a lifetime of struggling with storage, with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/9444" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Avontuur27.4m (89'11&quot;)Lynx Yachts2022">Avontuur</a> I can finally keep everything on board, well-organised, all the time and have the freedom to do whatever I want, whenever I want.” And this list of gear is extensive, including PWCs, windsurfers, SUPs, Scuba gear, foils and a 23’ wakeboarding boat with all the necessary boards.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/223499/image/large-29d26db54b4a478ddb502d97cc2685ab.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/223499">With his professional background in residential home building, this owner was not one to build his yacht on shaky foundations. Indeed, it took time for him to warm up to the idea of constructing his own yacht in the first place. “I already had access to a pretty nice yacht, and so there wasn’t a strong need for another normal cruising yacht .”However, there was something about the design of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3031" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lynx Yachts (Company)">Lynx</a>’s <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5666" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="YXT One23.98m (78'8&quot;)Lynx Yachts2014">YXT One&nbsp;</a>which caught this owner’s fancy. On a whim, he sent off an email to Lynx expressing his interest in the vessel and his desire to incorporate all of the toys and water sports equipment he’d want on board.&nbsp;With this, the wheels were in motion for the Crossover to become a reality. “After a few meetings, I flew to the Netherlands with my wife to visit the shipyard and we were very impressed with the build quality: that is something you can’t know for sure until you see it in person. The <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5666" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="YXT One23.98m (78'8&quot;)Lynx Yachts2014">YXT-One</a> was also so much larger in person than I thought: the back deck is 70 square metres and the “garage” below deck is huge, and I just thought: "Oh my gosh, I can store so much cool stuff here!” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/223492/image/large-3f6401e342f30d57bfb6286f419ff323.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/223492">For any first-time builder, the build process can be fraught with obstacles, with a major hiccup coming in the form of a global pandemic. “Communicating via email is much more difficult. What would have taken four hours in person took three days via email, and it was so much harder to come to Europe to see the boat in person.”What is clear from speaking to this owner, however, is that it was the exceptional quality of the relationships between him and Lynx which sustained him and kept up the momentum for the build. “My relationship with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3031" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lynx Yachts (Company)">Lynx</a> was fantastic throughout. From the start, they were honest and focused on quality. I took a surveyor along and he confirmed it. That was really important to me, because I’d never built a boat before, so if they wanted to cut corners, they could probably have gotten some past me. And on the inevitable change orders, the team who worked with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3031" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lynx Yachts (Company)">Lynx</a> were the fairest out of anyone with whom I’ve ever dealt.”For a man who attempts to fit in, “50% work, 50% family and 50% fun” into his daily life, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/9444" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Avontuur27.4m (89'11&quot;)Lynx Yachts2022">Avontuur</a> offers a welcome opportunity for this owner to pack in as much quality time with his wife and daughters as possible, and he’s not planning to venture far. “My favourite place in the world is Catalina Island in California and I will take the boat there with my family. In what other circumstances would I get to do all of the sports I love, whenever I want, with all the people I care about?” He continues: “I can go paddle boarding before everyone wakes up or go scuba diving with my daughters at midday, and wakeboarding in the evening. With teenage daughters and the pull of friends and social media, it can be really hard to get everyone to sit down and enjoy quality time together, even for meals. Having a boat means that we can all be ‘trapped’ together, in the nicest possible way, and it doesn’t get better than that!”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/223495/image/large-91f8451b3866c1af1c09475fc6c5c9d8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/223495">The Crossover <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/9444" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Avontuur27.4m (89'11&quot;)Lynx Yachts2022">Avontuur</a> will be making her debut appearance at the Cannes Yachting Festival in September.This article was originally published in&nbsp;<a href="https://sya.superyachttimes.com/news/superyacht-times-newspaper-issue-39" target="_blank">Issue 41 of SuperYacht Times newspaper</a>.

United by a passion for excellence and the sea, their goal is not only to build dreams but to ensure that the process is as pleasurable as the finished yacht itself. At Lynx they listen to and work closely with clients and their advisors, expertly leading them through the phases of design, development and construction. In the grand tradition of Dutch shipbuilders, the yachts are built with an obsessive attention to quality, right down&nbsp;to the&nbsp;smallest detail. The Lynx team have decades of experience, delivering exceptional, dependable yachts that push the&nbsp;boundaries of design, performance and craftsmanship. YXT Lynx Yachts has taken the concept of a support vessel and evolved it into a better, more&nbsp;adaptable shadow yacht for the&nbsp;next generation of explorers. The YXT series is a ‘yacht&nbsp;extender’ solution that provides additional space and flexibility&nbsp;without compromising on quality or&nbsp;functionality. Every platform has been carefully refined with intelligent engineering&nbsp;packages that&nbsp;can be customised to meet owner’s needs. Crossover The 27.4-metre is the first model in the Crossover Series, offering a stylish solution to a challenge&nbsp;faced by the market. It&nbsp;embraces the qualities of a graceful superyacht and the versatility of a&nbsp;support vessel into one fully customisable&nbsp;expedition yacht that delivers more than meets the eye.&nbsp;Stylish and robust, the Crossover 27 answers the call of owners&nbsp;in search of a vessel that can&nbsp;keep pace with their sporty lives. Adventure Embracing the practicality and flexibility that the range of YXT yachts have to offer has resulted in the birth of the Adventure Series. This platform retains the reliability and seaworthiness of the YXT Series while delivering the comforts more accustomed to superyachts. These are explorer yachts that allow their owners to access remote locations in any weather condition while offering impressive volume for their size. <iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/x3OwvD9LyKw?&amp;wmode=opaque" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe>
