If you're getting ready to participate in this legendary event, I'm jealous. For those who are not, we can complain together! Celebrating it's 40th Anniversary, Antigua Sailing Week is one of the most legendary regattas in the world. Between great sailing and great parties, there are few events like this one.

This year, to improve the format, the "Bareboat" fleet will race for a final day "gold fleet" set of races to crown the bareboat charter fleet winner. What makes events like this great are that folks who want to charter a boat, do some racing, and get away from the late winter/early spring blues can do exactly that without having to own a grand prix raceboat.
