In 2024 Panacea X won the final race day and placed 4th overall in a highly competitive class, they are looking forward to seeing what they can achieve in 2025!
The team will be as competitive as they can be but safety will come first, followed by providing a positive learning environment where everyone can develop their skills and enjoy the experience. Expect to be pushed to achieve your best, to expand your skill set and truly challenge yourself, with ongoing support from your professional skipper and first mate.
As part of the Youth 2 Keelboat programme (organised by ASW and Antigua Sailing Association to encourage Antiguan youth to continue on from their dinghy racing and enter into the world of yacht racing), for the last 2 years, Panacea X have welcomed an Antiguan youth onboard as integral member of the team and look forward to doing so again in 2025.

Katy Campbell is owner and skipper of Panacea X and Ben is First Mate. Katy has raced with winning crews in Canada, Europe and the Caribbean on successful campaigns including the Vancouver Area Racing Championship circuit, the VanIsle 360, the Rolex Fastnet and qualifying events, the Rolex Middle Sea Race, a one-design European Championship campaign, and the Caribbean racing circuit. She has coached hundreds of keen new and experienced sailors to success in similar events.
Ben has been sailing since he was just 2 weeks old! He was just 15 years old for his first ocean race, logging serious miles in the VicMaui aboard a Santa Cruz 50 and after racing lasers at a high level went on to become a Sail Canada coach.
This opportunity is open to sailors with a range of sailing experience. The professional crew have experience in bringing together a crew of mixed experience to make sure everyone is actively involved in racing the yacht.
Antigua Sailing Week is based from English and Falmouth Harbour on the South Coast of Antigua.
There are good international connections to Antigua with direct flights from many major airports via British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, U.S Airlines, Delta, American Airlines and Continental Airlines.
Crew will need to find accommodation ashore for this event. A crew house may be arranged with sufficient early crew registrations.
