The 56th edition of Antigua Sailing Week<\/a><\/strong> will start next week in spectacular fashion, with strong tradewinds forecast to provide adrenaline-packed sailing across nine classes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Competitors range from family crews and long-term cruisers to some of the most successful sailors on the planet, including America\u2019s Cup winner Dean Barker.<\/p>

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

\u201cWhatever their background, every sailor will share the thrill of racing with carefully tailored courses for each class,\u201d says Race Manager Jaime Torres.<\/p>

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

Teams from 17 nations, including Australia, France, Germany, Switzerland, the UK, USA and from several Caribbean Islands, are set for thrilling racing and sensational parties in one of the sailing world\u2019s most beautiful settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their boats range from 24ft RS Elite dayboats, up to a pair of all carbon fibre Volvo Ocean 65s, a Volvo 70 and Adrian Lee\u2019s high octane HH66 catamaran Lee Overlay Partners lll. <\/p>

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

\u201cThe unbeatable combination of intense competition, incredible scenery and the sense of community among sailors,\u201d particularly appeal to Lee, who has raced at Antigua for 14 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe challenge of racing in such a dynamic environment pushes me to improve every year,\u201d he adds, \u201cespecially this year as I have a new boat!\u201d<\/p>

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

Other notable contenders include classics such as Lennart Davidsson\u2019s 79ft (24m) Sparkman and Stephens designed maxi, Kialoa lll, the largest yacht entered this year.<\/p>

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

The action starts on Saturday April 26, with the Peters and May Round Antigua Race. From Sunday April 27, Antigua Sailing Week has five days of racing plus a Lay Day on Wednesday April 30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CSA Racing 1<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The top of this year\u2019s high performance big boat class is expected to see a close fight between three grand-prix yachts: Philip Rann\u2019s VO65 I love Poland, Oliver Kobale\u2019s VO65 Sisi and Roy Disney\u2019s turbocharged Volvo 70 Pyewacket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRoy loves racing in the Caribbean, and this will be his first Antigua Sailing Week,\u201d says navigator Peter Isler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Pyewacket tradition goes back a generation when his dad, the late Roy E. Disney, built the first of many successful offshore racing boats named after a black cat in one of his favourite movies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPyewacket 70 hails from California but has spent the last few years campaigning in Europe and the east coast with a top-notch international crew. We are looking forward to having a great time sailing in Antigua’s idyllic conditions and to learning more about our boat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are a crew of all professional sailors, aside from Roy, who no longer works as a pro sailor, though he did an America’s Cup campaign as a grinder for the Young America team in San Diego in 1995.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These boats will race on new longer courses, along with the fastest multihulls, as Torres explains: “We created these 20 to 50 mile courses specifically for the high-performance monohulls and multihulls to stretch their legs on very fast reaching angles, along with tactically challenging upwind and downwind sections.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CSA Racing 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This class has a wide range of boats, ranging from Kialoa lll to Sir Hugh Bailey\u2019s Farr 45 Rebel. However, all slot into a fairly narrow rating band, promising close action on the water throughout the week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bailey, who was knighted for his services to yachting, is seen as the \u2018grandfather\u2019 of sailing in Antigua. Last year he won the High Tide Trophy for best Antiguan yacht in the CSA Racing division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\u2019s also a previous winner of the coveted Lord Nelson Trophy, which is presented to the yacht best performing CSA Racing yacht, regardless of size, type or division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CSA Racing 3<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Racing is also expected to be extremely tight in CSA Class 3 according to Torres, who notes this class has, \u201cthe greatest number past winners of the Lord Nelson Trophy.\u201d He picks out several boats with enviable track records, all of which have a strong chance of lifting the trophy this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Local Reichel Pugh designed RP37 Warthog, for instance, is closing out a long and successful season of Caribbean racing. Crewed by top-level Antiguans, and skippered by Jim Vos, she is a strong favourite to win the class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, they face strong competition from stand-out teams including the J\/122 El Ocaso, chartered by Steve Rigby. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is the fifth Caribbean event on this boat for the team,\u201d says jib trimmer Josh Redgrave. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHowever, this is our first time competing at Antigua Sailing Week<\/a><\/strong>, where we are looking forward to the big winds and waves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have been sailing together since 2021, chartering race boats in the Mediterranean and Caribbean. A lot of our crew also campaigned a J\/122 in the UK for a number of years and twice won the IRC National Championship.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another formidable entry gunning for the top spot in this class is marine industry legend and long-time ASW competitor Sir Richard Mathews. He has chartered the J\/122 Liquid for his Oystercatcher team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a fast boat with a stellar racing reputation,\u201d says Torres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A big unknown in this class is a newcomer to the event with a long history of racing success: double Olympic gold medallist and five times Dragon World Champion Poul H\u00f8j Jensen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He will be racing a recently acquired custom 37ft Steven Thomas design, Danish Blue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

J\/122 El Ocaso \u00a9 Arthur Daniel<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CSA Racing 4<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top contenders in this group include Quintessence III, David Crum\u2019s classic IOR 45-footer, which he races successfully with friends and family. He finished on the podium at this year\u2019s Heineken Regatta and is hoping to top that with victory at ASW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equally Katy Campbell\u2019s, Salona 45 Panacea X, recently came a close second at the BVI Spring Regatta and is clearly a strong challenger this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RS Elite<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The three teams racing this one-design keelboat class can expect a different experience competing on tailor-made courses from their own committee boat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

ASW is the main yearly event for this budding Antigua One-Design Class. Racing within Falmouth Harbour will be hotly contested with newcomer Geoffrey Pierini, veteran and chairman of Antigua Classic Yacht Regatta Paul Deeth and Lesley Martin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salona 45 Panacea X \u00a9 Paul Wyeth – pwpictures.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CSA Club Class A<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The larger, more cruising oriented yachts, including Sebastian Gylling\u2019s Finnish Swan 51 Eira, Ian Galbraith\u2019s Oyster 53 Jigsaw and Charlie Bloch\u2019s Oyster 655 Laughing Buddha, will be battling it out in this class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jigsaw was second overall in her class last year, with Eira third, and equally tight competition is anticipated this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CSA Club Class B<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This class encompasses a mix of smaller boats, ranging from Carrack & Tyden Jones\u2019 J\/30 Absolute Properties (Blue Peter) through Gary O’Grady\u2019s long keel Tradewind 35 Cara of the South to Bernie Evan-Wong\u2019s modified Cal 40 Huey Too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year Absolute Properties (Blue Peter) sailed with the youngest team at Antigua Sailing Week and won the West Indies Publishing Cup Trophy. The boat is owned by Tanner Jones and co-skippered by his teenage sons Carrack and Tyden, with a team including crew as young as 12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese kids have learned that if you don\u2019t give up and you push through, good things can happen,\u201d commented Blue Peter\u2019s Tanner Jones following the 2024 ASW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey didn\u2019t stop once, they kept pushing each other and they were amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

J\/30 Absolute Properties (Blue Peter) \u00a9 Paul Wyeth – pwpictures.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CSA Bareboat<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 10 bareboats competing are all in the 44-46ft bracket, setting the scene for further close tussles on the water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These boats may be easier to sail than the most performance oriented at Antigua Sailing Week 2025, but extracting the absolute maximum speed from them is an art few have mastered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Entries include Italian skipper Andrea Zuppiroli\u2019s Beneteau 46 Shore Thing, whose experienced crew will be at ASW for the first time. \u201cAntigua Sailing Week is a must for every sailor,\u201d says Zuppiroli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe want to enjoy the Caribbean location, the atmosphere and don\u2019t want to finish last in the rankings!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are a group of seasoned sailors with common experiences of offshore navigation, offshore and coastal racing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are also members of the Tavola di Bisanzio, one of the two groups in Ravenna (Italy) of the Italian Brotherhood of the Coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the last years we have sailed frequently together, and consequently we party, eat and drink together!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, hundreds of German sailors have enjoyed sailing at ASW thanks to Hartmut Holtmann and KH+P charters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year they have three boats racing, including KH+P Talisman, a Moorings 42.3 skippered by Susanne Blankenhagen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt has been a dream for many years to be part of Antigua Sailing Week,\u201d she says \u201cWe have only heard how good Antigua and the organisation is, and it will be our first time sailing in the Caribbean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are very excited to get to know the new sailing area and to meet fantastic people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A group of urologists and neurosurgeons have chartered Sorrel, a 44-foot Sunsail yacht, skippered by Steve Clarke. Most have sailed at the regatta before and won the Bareboat division back in 2013. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe enjoyed the atmosphere and the racing, so we are back,\u201d says Clarke. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe’ve all sailed in various regattas, some in the Med, some in Phuket, Thailand, some in Cowes, but mainly at Hamilton Island Race Week in Australia.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While there\u2019s a huge diversity of different motivations for competing in Antigua Sailing Week, whatever their prime motivation, everyone can be assured of excellent competition and excitement on the water, plus an unparalleled social scene on shore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
