For five days crews are challenged with a variety of coastal race courses encouraging tacking duels around the buoys – all in the picture-perfect setting of the deep blue Caribbean Sea off Antigua’s south coast with the ever-present trade winds. The idyllic racing is matched by a full onshore schedule including daily prize-giving at Antigua Yacht Club, a midweek lay day at Pigeon Point Beach where you can enjoy hot barbecues, cold beers and fun games throughout the day and culminating in Dockyard Day and the final awards presentation in Nelson’s Dockyard.
