ANTIGUA SAILING WEEK

ROUND ANTIGUA RACE

!

The Peter & May Round Antigua Race has been exciting and popular with many Antigua Sailing Week participants for many years. In 2012 it was re-introduced in a new format that saw it become an optional race held the Saturday before Antigua Sailing Week begins open to all yachts, whether or not entered in Antigua Sailing Week. This optional race is scored separately from the full week’s racing so the results have no impact on the overall results of the Regatta.

Classes will include CSA, CSA double-handed,  multihull, and classic classes. With Antigua Classic Yacht Regatta concluding just before the Peters & May Round Antigua Race, the race provides an ideal way for any remaining Classic yachts to extend their Caribbean racing season.  All are welcome and encouraged to enter this exciting one-day race. The race will also provide an excellent day of practice for boats preparing to compete in Antigua Sailing Week’s full week of racing, without being concerned that the scoring of this race will impact their week’s results.

In 2015 Lloyd Thornburg’s MOD 70 trimaran Phaedo3 smashed the existing overall Peters & May Round Antigua Race course record with an elapsed time of 3 hours, 26 minutes and 9 seconds and won the Trophy for best elapsed multihull time in the Race. Find more details here.
