Antigua Sailing Week 2026 delivered a regatta defined by variety, resilience, and tight contests, as sailing crews navigated everything from Atlantic swell to light conditions over four days of competition around the island.  <\/p>

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

This year\u2019s reimagined fleet format brought together sailors from across the globe, blending fun and competitive racing with rally cruising. President of Antigua Sailing Week Alison Sly-Adams said the goal of the week was simple \u2013 capitalize on the island\u2019s natural beauty in signature point-to-point courses bookended with lively shoreside events.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A week that tested every gear <\/strong><\/p>

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

The regatta began with moderate trade winds as the fleet set off from English Harbour towards Green Island on Day One, settling into a rhythm on a course that put on a show of Antigua\u2019s spectacular coastal views. On shore, the Barefoot on the Beach rendezvous, hosted by Falmouth Ocean Club, gave sailors a relaxed close to the opening day, setting the tone for the week\u2019s unique mix of competition and camaraderie. <\/p>

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

Day Two introduced more challenge. Varying breeze and the presence of the North Swell offered up tactical tests to sailors across both the racing and cruising fleets. Racing boats that maintained focus on that second day began to establish early leads, though standings remained tight across multiple classes, with sailors finishing the day on the Northeast coast of Antigua at island destination The Hut at Little Jumby. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Day Three, lighter winds compressed the fleet and emphasis shifted toward balance and patience, with many crews taking advantage of the light air to crack open cold Heinekens and enjoy each other\u2019s company on the water. Gains in the racing fleet were incremental while cruisers had a chance to sun and swim before heading to the Heineken Riddim and Tides Beach Festival at Ffryes Beach. <\/p>

The fourth and final day delivered stunning breeze for the homeward leg from the west coast of Antigua back toward English Harbour. Racing boats enjoyed a sporty upwind beat in the final miles, while the cruising fleet embraced a more relaxed pace, rounding the island in true Caribbean style and stopping at beaches and scenic areas. <\/p>

The final prize giving took place in view of the centuries old Fort Berkeley Gunpowder Magazine and Guard House on the bluff due south and the wave-battered limestone Pillars of Hercules to the southeast. In the historic stone surroundings of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, competitors gathered to polish off the remaining English Harbour Rum and listen to the 17-61\u00b0 band\u2019s mix of Caribbean and classic rock hits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Class winners were presented with trophies and prizes, recognising performances across the fleet, while organisers extended thanks to sponsors, partners, and the more than 50 volunteers whose efforts made the event possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Special acknowledgment was extended to the crew of Kali, <\/em>who were at the heart of the week\u2019s camaraderie and competition. Led by Great Lakes skipper Chuck Bayer and racing under the name Kermode-Grizzly, the team showed up on the water with resolve and a special chemistry. The boat emerged early as the racing standout of the week, securing both corrected and line honours in CSA Class 1 on all 4 days and ultimately earning Antigua Sailing Week\u2019s top overall prize, the Lord Nelson Trophy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is like a once in a lifetime thing,\u201d said Bayer. \u201cJust looking at some of the boats named on this trophy, being alongside them is a huge honour.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In\u202fCSA Racing Class 2, the determined and perpetually quick-to-smile Dutchmen aboard Contigo Team HI-1<\/em><\/strong>, secured four straight first-place finishes that were marked by tough daily competition within their class. However, skipper Rien van der Post joked that the crew\u2019s most treasured victory came on the final day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe were most happy to beat Race Committee to the finish line,\u201d van der Post laughed, joined by tactician Gerrit van Loo who added, \u201cThat was the first time ever for us!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

CSA Racing Class 3\u202fsaw Bernie Evan-Wong\u2019s High Tension<\/em><\/strong> rise to the top, also amid fierce competition within his class all week long.  Wong said his crew showed focus under pressure in both favourable and challenging conditions. He recalled the steady crew work that set them up to pursue daring final-day tactics that left little room for error, but ultimately paid dividends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe did a lot of upwind sailing. Our strong point is off the wind, so we really had to work hard,\u201d Evan-Wong said. \u201cOn the last day, we managed to stay on the edge of a squall, play the shifts, and then tack out at just the right moment, and in the end, that\u2019s what made all the difference.\u201d

Meanwhile, in the\u202fMultihull CSA Class, co-owner of Condor 40 Troika<\/em><\/strong>, Samuel Masterman praised the week\u2019s weather conditions, new format, and course setup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe had two to three crew on board, depending on the day and it was a mix of racers and non-racers,\u201d Masterman said. \u201cThe way the courses were set up meant that everyone was able to have a good time whether they had a lot of experience or only a little.\u201d

Special awards and standout contributions <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On top of class honours, several special trophies were awarded to individuals and teams who helped define the spirit of Antigua Sailing Week 2026.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Jan Santos Trophy was presented to Neal Charles, a quiet but ever-present force behind the scenes whose tireless work and willingness to help underpinned the smooth delivery of the event.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Caribbean Sailing Association Travellers Trophy was awarded to Apollo<\/em> owner Donald Nicholson, recognising his consistent participation across the regional circuit. In the Race Charter division, Katy Campbell\u2019s Panacea X<\/em> took home top honours for a second year in a row.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Youth development was also celebrated, with Ashley Joshua receiving the Youth Trophy after returning to race aboard Eira<\/em>, having progressed through the Youth to Keel programme in previous years\u2019 events. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Women\u2019s Trophy was awarded to Sanne Bast of Ilios<\/em>, whose commitment both on and off the water \u2013 from welcoming visiting media to contributing to the restoration and racing of her boat \u2013 captured the collaborative spirit of the regatta. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
