With so many islands devastated by the passing of Hurricane Beryl this month, the yachting community have joined forces to assist with urgent supplies and relief aid.

In this news report we outline guidelines for yachts wanting to assist and where to donate, and in this news item we report on cruisers with damaged boats needing aid and detail an urgent supply list. See the "Yachties Helping Out" section above, for more details.

Antigua: A new travelift suitable for catamarans (max. 10m beam) is now available at Jolly Harbour Marina and Boatyard, with a transporter with catamaran pads arriving September.

Grenada: Despite securely locking their catamaran, which was anchored in the outside lagoon at St. George's in Grenada, the owners returned from a trip ashore to find the vessel had been broken into and a number of items had been stolen. Read the report.

Other security reports can be found at Noonsite Security Reports.
