The simplified Race Maps and Minimum Safety Requirements are also under Race Info on our website. You can also see the over 40 Expected Entries for April, both old and new participants. We think it's a wonderful response to our new Classic Team's mission to restore the spirit of the Regatta to the late, great Kenny Coombs' original concept and we are very excited.

Helped with our efforts are our generous sponsors, both old and new also, without whom this Regatta cannot work. In this respect we are delighted to welcome five brand new sponsors viz Antigua Tourism Authority, Citizens Investment Programme Antigua (CIP), Island Provision, English Harbour Rum and Red Stripe Beer, making the event a truly Caribbean one.

Lyman-Morse, Brooklin Boatyard, Gannon & Benjamin, Sailing-Classics, Budget Marine, Caribbean Alliance, Woodstock Boatbuilding, Chippy, Admirals's Inn, Boom Restaurant, Nelson's Dockyard National Parks, S.Pellegrino, Epicurean and Horizons continue to sponsor us. Our grateful thanks to you all.

Our 2023 Programme, in which our sponsors' ads will appear, will shortly be posted onto the Home Page of the Classics website, as will their logos.

If you have any questions or would like to join us as a volunteer (the Regatta cannot work without these venerable bodies either!) please email or if wish to register as a Photographer email
