27 April 2023

For 2023, the 54th edition of Antigua Sailing Week is all set with the famous regatta’s on-the-water action kicking off with a spectacular curtain raiser on April 29th; the stand-alone Peters & May Round Antigua Race. Five days of red-hot racing follow for Antigua Sailing Week, with legendary shoreside celebrations and daily prize giving.

New to the race program for 2023 will be the Antigua Wing Foil Championships with two days of in-harbor racing and a one-day downwinder on Lay Day, as well an RS Elite One Design class.

Antigua Sailing Week is a melting pot of nations; boats from 18 countries are competing at the 54th edition. Sailors come from all-over the world to experience Antigua & Barbuda, a spectacular Caribbean destination surrounded by world class sailing waters. The racing is not the only source of fun and thrills, shoreside the party-scene after racing is renowned.

By mid-regatta, the Reggae in the Park live gig is followed by all the laughter you can handle on Pigeon Point Beach for Lucky Eddi’s Lay Day. The Final Prize Giving in Nelson’s Dockyard is always a memorable night. Taking a bow on the main stage by winning your class at Antigua Sailing Week is the aim, but it’s also the pathway to the ultimate goal, the big one – lifting the Lord Nelson Trophy…
