Antigua Race Week 2013

Overview:

WE ARE FULL FOR 2012 AND TAKING BOOKINGS FOR 2013

The 46th year of this International Yachting Event is run back to back with the Round Antigua Race

The biggest event of the Caribbean Season, Antigua Week attracts over 200 yachts of all sizes to race in a series of long and short courses, in moderate, fresh winds and tropical sunshine. The evening social programme lives up to the true Caribbean party reputation, where rum is plentiful. Where would you rather be in April?

Stormforce Coaching will be entering one of our race yachts, Cheeki Rafiki (First 40.7) into the event. We are confident that with our experienced racing skipper and an enthusiastic team on board, they will be well placed in the competition.

Whether you have racing experience or not, you have the chance to be part of that team and work hard and play hard for 10 days in the tropics. This is a ten-day package that includes two events and pre-race training. The Round Antigua Race is a stand alone race that takes place the day before the actual regatta.

The 10 day package consists of: 

• 3 days of pre-race training in Antigua
