Antigua Sailing Day Regatta
The Club's '9th Antigua Sailing Day Regatta' will be held on Sunday, 12 June.
The Regatta was initiated eight years ago as a fun event to celebrate and coincide with Antigua Sailing Week in the Caribbean. Amazingly, through a Google alert, reports of the Regatta came to the attention of the Antigua Sailing Week Race Committee and the Antigua & Barbuda Tourism Authority, who were so impressed with the initiative that they kindly offered to come on-board as event sponsors.
With the Tourism Authority's generous support, the Regatta has become the highlight of SESCA's sailing calendar. After a couple of years of particularly chilly weather, the event was moved from April to June, which has generally provided somewhat warmer conditions.
Antigua Sailing Week , which was regrettably been cancelled last year due to the Covid pandemic, is scheduled to be held from 30 April - 6 May.
The Regatta will feature three allcomers' races followed by one race for junior and novice racers. There will be a race briefing at 10.00 am, with the first race scheduled to start at 10.30 am.
We are delighted that the Antigua & Barbuda Tourism Authority will again be sponsoring the event and providing a live steel band for lunch time entertainment, in addition to race prizes of a suitably Caribbean nature.
If you can't make it to Antigua, come and celebrate Sailing Week with us.
Please let us know if you would like to put your name down for a Club boat, if you are not intending to sail your own.
It would be great to see as many boats out as possible for this fun event.
