Hello
Michele Korteweg - St. Maarten
CSA President
About Me
Michele Korteweg is the Regatta Director of the St. Maarten Heineken Regatta and past General Manager of the Sint Maarten Yacht Club. She started off as an intern at the Regatta in 2008 and returned to St. Maarten in 2010 to join the team as Assistant Director and work her way up to Director in 2012. In 2017 she was offered the position of General Manager to focus more on the growth of the sailing school and racing program locally. Having enjoyed racing with a local team herself for 2 seasons, she realized she’d rather stays ashore and organizes racing then going out sailing herself. She loves the thrill that comes with event management, the creativity of (destination) marketing and the human factor that’s part of regattas through the sailing community and the volunteers. As the head of the Marketing Committee for the CSA she is dedicated to find joint marketing opportunities to showcase the beautiful racing that the Caribbean offers to attract more boats and sailors to the region.
