The Antigua Classic Yacht Regatta is a unique event in the international classic yachting calendar for its participants, atmosphere, scenery and racing conditions.
In April of every year, four days of racing mark the end of the classic sailing season in the Caribbean, bringing together dozens of classic and vintage ketches, sloops, schooners and yawls, to create an extraordinary spectacle together with J Class, Tall Ships and Spirit of Tradition. The latter category first began in Antigua in 1996, a testament to the high status of this event within the panorama of international classic yachting.
