Sail Helios

19/05/2025

Helios has a new mainsail. Check out StJohn Sailsack Co to get a bag made from the last one!

⛵️❤️ Big news from Cruz Bay! ❤️⛵️
Helios, the beautiful Hinckley that’s become part of so many St. John love stories, just got a brand new main sail. The sail that came down has seen countless sunsets, weddings, and island adventures—many of them officiated by the one and only Captain Jay.

We’ll be turning this storied sail into a limited run of Sailsacks. If you have a connection to Helios or her captain, now’s your chance to carry a piece of her legacy. ⛵️ Reach out and let us know to reserve a sailsack from this sail for you!

PS: If you’re dreaming of your own island wedding or private charter, we can’t recommend Helios enough. Just ask our tribe—she’s magic.

“I am such a summer person. Just give me a quiet spot with a breathtaking view, a cool drink in my hand, a warm sea breeze on my skin, and the soothing sounds of waves crashing and I will be in all my glory.” — Unknown

The whimsical "One-Horned Butt Fish" (Homo snorkelus unihornus) is a term of endearment for the quirky and somewhat clumsy snorkeling humans often seen in groups in tropical waters. Displaying a playful range of colorful outfits and distinctive snorkels, or "horns," these creatures mainly gather around boats, from small sailboats to large catamarans, nicknamed "cattlemarans" for the herd-like clusters of snorkelers they attract. They converge in these marine habitats, seeking adventure and underwater thrills, often forming what is known as a "snorkel squad."

These delightful beings, while not shy, perform an enchanting underwater ballet known as the "snorkeler's dance," complete with flipper-assisted pirouettes and upside-down antics, which showcases their humorous side and the reason behind their unique moniker. To fully enjoy their presence without disturbance, it's recommended to approach them silently under sail, allowing the rare opportunity to observe their fascinating behavior as they remain engrossed in the wonders of the oceanic realm below.
