The Caribbean Sea has been all about pirates, rum and colonies, but today it's a place assocaited with tourism where a number of islands have become sailing paradises to the hoards of visitors that come to their shores every year.

Sea & Coast
The over 7000 Caribbean islands form a huge curve with a length of nearly 4,000 kilometers. They are located to the north of the Central American land bridge between the North American peninsula of Florida and the northeast coast of South American Venezuela. The islands’ entire area is smaller than the area of Germany.

Hull of £4m super-yacht to be auctioned on eBay

The hull of a yacht which cost £4m to build and was abandoned in the North Atlantic during testing for a round-the-world race, is to be sold off on eBay.

The Team Philips catamaran was preparing to take part in The Race, a round the world sailing contest which started in Barcelona, when it began to break up during a freak storm in the Atlantic in December 2000. The crew were forced to abandon the vessel, which then came apart in the rough seas.

The hull is one of the few parts of the catamaran to have been salvaged, according to a report by the South Devon Herald Express. Skipper Pete Goss has given his blessing to the sale which will raise money for the disaster relief charity, ShelterBox.
