WORLD-CLASS COURSE RACING, ISLAND HOSPITALITY, INTERNATIONAL APPEAL
 Antigua, West Indies \u2014 Friday, November 4th, 2026:  As Antigua prepares to roll out its inaugural Regatta Month next year, the flagship event, the Antigua Racing Cup, is already poised to make waves in the racing scene across the Caribbean. 

The Antigua Racing Cup (ARC) is set to debut April 9\u201312, 2026, where the spirit of pure competition and professional race management, meet the vibrant energy of Antigua\u2019s sailing community and the island\u2019s world famous hospitality.

Continuously striving for innovation, the Ministry of Tourism and Antigua & Barbuda Tourism Authority, supported by the National Parks Authority & the wider yachting community along with other local stakeholders, has steered confidently into the wind with the launch of the Antigua Racing Cup, a high-performance regatta designed to build on Antigua Sailing Week and cement Antigua and Barbuda\u2019s reputation as a marquee destination for Caribbean racing. The Antigua Racing Cup (ARC) is a bold new addition to the island\u2019s sailing calendar, crafted to complement and extend the legacy of Antigua Sailing Week while carving out its own identity.

The Antigua Racing Cup (ARC) is being positioned as a sailors-first regatta, designed to deliver pure, high-level competition off Antigua\u2019s south coast, with Nelson\u2019s Dockyard serving as both the Regatta Village and the social heartbeat of the event. 

Key Features of the Antigua Racing Cup<\/strong>Racing-Centric Format: The regatta is designed around the needs and wants of racing sailors only, ensuring that the courses, scheduling, and race management are optimized for performance and fairness.South Coast Theatre: Antigua\u2019s south coast, with its steady trade winds and dramatic seascapes, provides the perfect natural amphitheater for intense, tactical racing.Nelson\u2019s Dockyard Hub: This UNESCO World Heritage Site doubles as the Regatta Village, offering sailors and teams a historic yet vibrant base for logistics, camaraderie, and post-race celebrations.Social Energy: While the ARC is competition-first, the Dockyard ensures the social side of sailing is not neglected\u2014expect lively gatherings, prize-giving\u2019s and cultural showcases that highlight Antigua\u2019s maritime heritage.Why It Matters<\/strong>For sailors: It\u2019s a chance to compete in a regatta designed entirely around their needs, with challenging courses and world-class race management.For Antigua: It strengthens the island\u2019s identity as a premier sailing destination, not just for spectacle but for serious competition.For the region: It adds depth to the Caribbean racing calendar, ensuring Antigua remains a central hub for international yachting.\u201cThe Antigua Racing Cup is built for sailors who thrive on tight courses, strong trades, and want to kick back ashore,\u201d said Race Manager Jaime Torres. \u201cIt fills a natural gap in the Caribbean calendar with a regatta focused purely on top-class racing. From the start line to dockside, the Antigua Racing Cup will deliver the high standards sailors expect from the world\u2019s great racing venues. The Antigua Racing Cup is designed from the water up, to challenge some of the world\u2019s best racing teams with loads of racing in Antigua\u2019s epic conditions without the distraction of cruising boats.\u201d

Racing Format: Pure Competition at Every Level<\/strong>

Monohulls will enjoy racing under dual scoring (CSA and IRC), seamlessly managed with Nautical Cloud regatta software, ensuring that both regional and international competitors can race on equal terms and get almost immediate results under both rules. On the water, maxis and offshore multihulls will have the opportunity to stretch their legs with longer racetracks over a wide range of wind angles. At the same time, smaller boats will enjoy tighter, tactical racing with a mix of windward\/leeward and reaching leg courses.

Dedicated One-Design divisions will feature the RS Elite and Petticrow Dragon fleets and possibly Diam high-performance trimarans, all bringing precision one-design racing into Antigua\u2019s renowned trade wind conditions.

Antigua: The Beating Heart of Caribbean Sailing<\/strong>
With its rich maritime heritage and world-class facilities, Antigua remains the beating heart of Caribbean sailing. From the iconic RORC Caribbean 600 to Antigua Classics, the island has become synonymous with spectacular conditions, warm hospitality, and phenomenal racing.

The Regatta Village at Nelson\u2019s Dockyard will provide the perfect backdrop for four days of high-intensity sailing and relaxed Caribbean camaraderie as, sailors and members of the community gather for dock parties and daily prize-giving ceremonies, against the backdrop of island-style hospitality.

Whether you\u2019re racing a grand-prix machine, a performance cruiser, or a One-Design class, the Antigua Racing Cup offers sailors from around the world the chance to experience competitive, exciting, and unforgettable Caribbean racing.
