The price includes; 2 training days before the regatta, a professional skipper and mate, all boat and race costs.
Barbados Sailing Week has something for everyone! The format is ideal if you are relatively new to racing or looking to expand your skills into different roles. 3 days of ’round the cans’ racing out of Bridgetown is followed by a relaxing lay day, before the final day of racing with the round Barbados race.
Racing onboard Panacea will be as competitive as it can as a team, but safety will always come first followed by providing an positive learning environment where everyone can develop their skills and enjoy the experience.
Crew will join and leave the boat by dinghy each day, most likely from the beach at Barbados Cruising Club in Carlisle Bay. A waterproof bag for daily essentials is therefore recommended!

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.
Barbados
Crew will need to find accommodation ashore for this event and we recommend staying near to the Barbados Cruising Club as this is where the majority of the regatta shoreside events will take place.
