With the Caribbean sun glinting off the waves and sails billowing in the breeze, it was a proud and unforgettable moment on the water as two icons of Antiguan sailing came together. Admiral Sir Hugh Bailey, a legend in his own right, joined forces with Past Commodore Franklyn Braithwaite at the helm of Lady B during Saturday’s race.
The sight of these seasoned mariners—both pillars of Antigua’s rich sailing heritage—steering with skill and camaraderie stirred admiration across the fleet. Their presence not only honored the sport but also underscored the enduring spirit of unity, tradition, and excellence that defines Antigua’s sailing community.
For spectators and fellow sailors alike, the race became more than a competition; it was a living tribute to leadership, legacy, and the joy of being out on the sea.
