Antigua Sailing Week has published the Preliminary Notice of Race for its 58th edition and officially opened entries, setting the stage for another week of competitive sailing and celebration in the Caribbean.
The 2027 edition is scheduled for April 21–25, building on the momentum of the event's newly revamped point-to-point format, which drew enthusiastic participation from competitors around the world. The redesigned format delivered a blend of racing, cruising, unique destinations and the social camaraderie that has long defined the regatta.
For sailors who missed this year's edition, Antigua Sailing Week 2027 offers the opportunity to experience the evolution of one of the Caribbean's longest-running regattas. Organised games and challenges kept crews engaged during race legs, while happy hours and beach activities provided space for participants and spectators to connect throughout the week.
Additional destinations for the 2027 edition are still to be announced.
To mark the opening of entries, Antigua Sailing Week is offering an early bird registration rate of USD$12 per foot for all entries paid by October 31, 2026. Competitors are encouraged to secure their place on the starting line ahead of the deadline. Entries can be submitted through Yachtscoring.com.
Each night of the regatta features parties, concerts and dinners at venues across the island, making Antigua Sailing Week as well known for its social scene as for its racing.
Sponsors for the 2026 edition included the Antigua & Barbuda Ministry of Tourism, Investment & Economic Development, CIBC, Heineken Beer, Virgin Atlantic, English Harbour Rum, the Citizenship by Investment Unit, and a range of local and international partners.
