The new facility, provisionally referred to as the Barbados 50 marina, is a convenient point of arrival in Barbados as it has laundry facilities, showers and garbage disposal containers.
The facility was set up for the arrival of the Barbados 50 Odyssey, but is now used by all Cornell Sailing events finishing in Barbados.
At least four more boats are expected to arrive tomorrow, Sunday: Sta Vast, Richard Parker, Silver Lining and Careka.
