Traditional Bahamian sloop racing off New Bight's 'Regatta Point' and sailing club beach, where cruisers have watched local racing sloops being built.

Eleuthera

Practical

Coordinate is the New Bight fish fry, which cruisers locate at Regatta Point beside the sailing club. ActiveCaptain reviews (2014-2015) describe a Bahamian racing sloop under construction at New Bight and a visiting master sloop builder from Long Island. Regatta dates were not verified; check the Bahamas tourism events calendar or ask at the fish fry. Summer regattas fall in hurricane season, so plan an exit.
