One of the Caribbean's great regattas, founded in 1967 from a classic-yacht race to Guadeloupe. Since 2026 it runs in a new four-day point-to-point format, racing and cruising between destinations around Antigua with beach parties at each stop.

2027 dates: April 21 to 25 (58th edition); entry via Yachtscoring.com, early-bird US$12 per ft for entries paid by October 31, 2026 (sailingweek.com).
