Antigua Sailing Week
Date
Antigua Sailing Week, one of the Caribbean’s most prestigious regattas, now has a new, shorter format of four days of sailing. Returning to its historical roots the event heads Around Antigua. This return to ‘destination sailing’ means the focus is on cruising boats. Courses will be point to point for ralliers and for those who want to compete; crews are challenged with a variety of coastal race courses encouraging tacking duels around the marks. All taking place in the picture-perfect setting of the deep blue Caribbean Sea off Antigua’s coastline with the ever-present trade winds. The idyllic racing is matched by a full onshore schedule. Stopping at a different destination each night, a beach, a marina or a restaurant, where the party will take place. Participants will be welcomed by Caribbean cuisine, sizzling grills & cultural entertainment, bringing each day to a celebratory close.
