COUNTDOWN TO ANTIGUA SAILING WEEK
Monday 18th March 2024


In less than 6 weeks, over 80 boats and hundreds of crew from all over the world will arrive in English and Falmouth Harbours to participate in the one of the world’s notable sailing events, Antigua Sailing Week,  and to celebrate the staging of this epic event for its 55th year. 

The assembled fleet in Antigua has always delivered thrilling action and teams from as far away as Finland and New Zealand will be taking up the challenge, racing in designated CSA Classes for the coveted Lord Nelson's Trophy which is awarded to the most outstanding performance from a CSA Monohull during a lavish final award ceremony.

Last year’s overall winning boat, Chris Body’s J/122 El Ocaso (GBR), is back but chartered to Tony & Sally Mack as McFly on El Ocaso. Team McFly have chartered boats for years in the Caribbean, but race together in the UK on the J/111 McFly and are reigning National Champions.  “Now we are looking forward to sailing in warm weather,” commented driver Tony Mack. “Jeremy Smart of North Sails is our tactician, while the crew are made up of a group of very good friends from the UK, Ireland and the USA. Racing at Antigua Sailing Week gets the team together for excellent racing, something that training at home cannot come close to providing.”

2024 INSHORE RACING 

The Antigua Sailing Week Dragon Cup, presented by the Antigua Yacht Club Marina & Resort will take place again during Antigua Sailing Week. 7 identical Petticrow Dragons will be racing in Falmouth Harbour. Current Class President of the International Dragon Association, Poul Hoj-Jensen will be on the start line. His accolades include two times Olympic Gold Medalist in the Soling class and multiple World Championships across multiple classes and five time Gold Cup Winner in the Dragon class. He will be up against defending Antigua National Champion Rocco Falcone who has recently been selected to be on the Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli youth team for the upcoming Unicredit Youth America’s Cup

Owner of the Antigua Yacht Club Marina and the beautiful dragons says, “I am excited to see the return of the Antigua Dragon Cup and to see the boats back in the waters of Falmouth Harbour and English Harbour. We are inviting dragon sailors from around the world to take part in this prestigious event”.  Parties interested in the invitational can submit their interest here.
