During the last week of April each year, over 100 yachts gather in English and Falmouth Harbour to participate in Antigua Sailing Week, one of the Caribbean’s most prestigious regattas.  The event attracts all types of yachts from serious racing boats including state-of-the-art, high-tech racing machines to a variety of performance cruiser and cruising boats and even features a Club Class for less serious racers who want to be part of the on-the-water action.
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.
