Since the first regatta in 1968, Antiguans have been racing and winning at Antigua Sailing Week through connections made at Antigua Yacht Club, but the Y2K programme goes far deeper than offering young sailors the opportunity to take to the stage at Prize Giving.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Y2K was launched in 2018 at Antigua Sailing Week and is supported by the Antigua and Barbuda Sailing Association. Y2K aims to give local youth sailors keelboat experience during Antigua Sailing Week. This year over 35 local Antiguans are racing on a huge variety of boats.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Y2K programme is progressing the latest crop of talented Antiguans,\u201d commented Alison Sly-Adams, Antigua Sailing Week President and General Manager of the National Sailing Academy (NSA). \u201cY2K opens the door for young Antiguans to enter the maritime industry by accessing the network of experienced sailors racing at Antigua Sailing Week. These young Antiguans learn more than just top-level racing. Potentially the Y2K programme gives them access to working in Antigua\u2019s thriving maritime industry.\u201d<\/p>
