Antigua Sailing Week is over for another year and will be remembered for its usual mix of incredible sailing, exciting racing and lively party atmosphere on shore. Antigua Sailing Week is the Caribbean’s longest running sailing regatta – 2019 marks its 52nd year – and its most prestigious. It is also one of the most loved races in the world with the event attracting entrants from all over the world. This year, teams from 21 different countries competed and the conditions were simply spectacular for the international fleet. The trade winds blew for all six racing days and there were some thrilling contests.
