If Genesis does not do well in the upcoming Antigua Classic Yacht Regatta it is not due to a fouled bottom. Hunter has been helping Alexis get Genesis, his traditional Carriacou sloop, ready for the Antigua Classic Yacht Regatta. Genesis was built in the traditional way, with traditional tools and mostly local materials on the island of Carriacou, part of Grenada. Boats like Genesis served as fishing and freighting boats since the early 1900’s. These versatile nimble boats have a rich history connecting the islands in the Eastern Caribbean for trade of all kinds, including smuggling liquor and other contraband.
