BVI Spring Regatta & Sailing Festival - Day 4

by Michelle Slade / BVISR 1 Apr 22:19 BST March 27 - April 2, 2023

The 50th anniversary celebrations continue at the BVI Spring Regatta & Sailing Festival with the Mount Gay Race Day taking place in quintessential Caribbean sailing conditions.

After a great day on the water, class winners received a very special bottle of the limited production 1703 Master Select Mount Gay Rum at the Awards ceremony held at the Nanny Cay Regatta Village.

Mount Gay Rum is the Official Rum of the BVI Spring Regatta and a long-standing sponsor. "Thank you all for participating in the Mount Gay Rum Race Day. This year we have something special for the winners as we celebrate the Regatta's 50th year. Congratulations to all crews," said Colin Campbell, Mount Gay Rum Brand Manager.
