English term or phrase: to take the boats bear boat [sic!]

"The Cup is divided into 4 divisions, depending on the speed of the yachts, the experience of the crews, whether they wish to race with or without spinnakers. We have got a sun-sail division, there boat where we have some of the more experienced sailors on board ***who have taken the boats bear boat***, we are providing the entire crew including the skipper from their own law firms or barristers chambers. And we have divisions 2A and 2B with a variety of boats, the largest of which is Beneto 40.7. There we provide a professional skipper and they can race with or without spinnaker, but most of the race with spinnaker. And then finally we have a division mainly comprised of Bevarias with the least experienced crews on them that will race without spinnakers."

Liebe KollegInnen, wieder mal seid ihr dazu aufgerufen, aus diesem seltsamen Englisch etwas Sinnvolles zu kreieren.

Kann vielleicht jemand daraus ersehen, dass die erstgenannte Division (sun-sail division) MIT Spinnaker fährt?

typo: bare boat - ohne skipper

Explanation:
Ein Begriff aus dem Chartern, man kann mit Skipper oder Bare Boat chartern.
Beneto = Benneteau (Werft)
Auch Sun ist ein Bootsbauer.
Ich denke in der ersten Klasse, wo die also ohne Profi-Skipper segeln, können die den Spinnaker setzen wie sie lustig sind. Nur bei den Anfängern fahren sie ohne Spinnaker.

Notes to answerer

Asker: Schaut mal auf http://www.sailingchannel.com/programmi/sailing_stories/sailing_stories/hot_water/episode_52 Das ist eine nette Abwechslung zu meinen sonstigen Aufträgen. (Leider gehe ich noch viel zu akademisch an das Ganze heran, dadurch kostet es mehr Zeit, als ich eigentlich habe. Hoffentlich nervt es nicht allzu sehr, ich bemüh mich, möglichst wenig zu fragen, und mittlerweile hab ich mich an das lustige Englisch einigermaßen gewöhnt.)
