As proof of their journey they would purchase a barrel of Barbados Rum to tote back to their house port.

As a result, Mount Gay Rum became closely linked to sailing. Firstly because sailing was the only route through which the rum was able to abandon distilleries in Barbados and be sold and experienced in markets across the Atlantic, in the mother countries.

Why Everyone Wants One Of These Hats
After this year's Hyannis-Nantucket Figawi sailboat race, Ryan Lee, on the island for a bachelor party, was determined to get the weekend's most coveted item: a Mount Gay Rum red cap. Prized by sailors since their debut in the late s, the hats are embroidered specifically for each of the Mount Gay–sponsored regattas worldwide. No more than three are distributed to each finishing team, so veteran sailors see them as badges of honor.
The caps are not for sale — though they complete a brisk trade on eBay — but you might just get blessed. Lee bought one from a bartender for $ Another fan then swiped it off Lee's top. A chase ensued; a Sperry Top-Sider was lost; a trade was made. Lee now wears his hat proudly, and a story has been added to Nantucket lore.
