THE BIG BOYS FIGHT IT OUT
The challenge is held in Antigua in March when yachts in excess of 80 feet are invited to participate in an exciting, friendly event – the Superyacht Challenge Antigua!
The SYCA Committee headed by Paul Deeth and Stan Pearson host four days of spectacular racing using the ORCsy rating rule.
From a Start/Finish line off the entrance to English Harbour, the course marks for the five 12 – 30 mile (approx) races are set daily according to the prevailing conditions off the south coast of Antigua.
The regatta will continue with a limited entry of 12-15 yachts depending on the type of vessels. This decision was made to ensure that the magnificent amenities available at Nelson’s Dockyard would comfortably host the event. Furthermore the event will have no title sponsorship, to ensure that the Superyacht Challenge Antigua will be held for the pure enjoyment of the participants without any conflict of interest with a third party.
Hosted by the Admiral’s Inn and Antigua Rigging in association with National Parks Antigua,the Superyacht Challenge Antigua is proving very popular with a magnificent fleet of Superyachts taking part.
Designed to be solely for the pleasure of superyacht owners, their guests and crew. The magnificent fleet take part in four days of spectacular racing. With daily races along the stunning south coast of Antigua and laid back social events, the Superyacht Challenge Antigua is a wonderful celebration of sailing and parties.
The racing is very competitive but the Superyacht Challenge Antigua is dedicated to pure fun afloat and ashore, where all participants enjoy a relaxed party atmosphere, free from commercial endorsements.
The Superyacht Challenge Antigua has one clear objective; to provide all the facilities to stage an ideal event for an exclusive selection of Superyachts, where fair racing and good companionship are valued above all else.
