ONDECK

The start date of the Antigua to Charleston SC Race has been changed from May 4 to May 5, 2011, due the flight schedules.  Further information is now available online at http://www.ondeckoceanracing.com/charleston/antigua-charleston-race.htm#.

Ondeck, in association with Antigua Yacht Club and Antigua Sailing Week, is proud to present a new and exciting international offshore race from the Caribbean paradise island of Antigua to the US port of Charleston on the unspoilt South Carolina coast.

This 1,250 nm ocean race will take you North from the Caribbean Sea into the Atlantic Ocean, picking up the Gulf Stream as you race off the coast of Florida until reaching South Carolina and the finish line in Charleston. As the Florida and Gulf Stream currents mix, tactics will pay a major part in determining which yachts make the most of this helping hand, pushing the yachts Northwards and to the finish line.
