Antigua Classic Yacht Regatta © Den Phillips
The 35th Antigua Classic Yacht Regatta starts next Wednesday, April 17th, promising an unforgettable experience. The event combines sport, tradition, camaraderie, and maritime heritage. Onshore events at Nelson’s Dockyard, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, will be complemented by racing off the island’s south coast.
This year’s regatta boasts the largest fleet of classic boats since 2014, ranging from the 177-foot Chronos and Rhea to the 29-foot Phoebe of Fowey. The oldest yacht, Galatea, dates back to 1899, while the youngest, Chloe Giselle, was built in 2014.
Other notable yachts include the 115-foot Eros, the 114-foot Saharet of Tyre, the Alvei, Nordwind, Bolero, The Blue Peter, Charm III, Adventurer, and local Carriacou sloops.
Wednesday afternoon will see a flurry of preparations in Nelson’s Dockyard before the Concours d’Elégance judging. Racing kicks off Thursday, continuing through Sunday, with a single-handed race on Monday. Winners at Monday’s awards ceremony will receive a barrel of English Harbour Rum.
