The story

Mayor Solaire Cup Boat Race in Meads Bay

An A Class boat race out of Meads Bay looping past Anguillita, the Solaire villas and Dog Island, giving spectators a longer, more visually varied course than most of the season's shorter races, with the fleet crossing a marked stake near Malliouhana Point along the way.

The Mayor Solaire Cup is one of the more distinctive courses on Anguilla's traditional boat-racing calendar, an A Class race out of Meads Bay whose route is defined less by a straight there-and-back sprint and more by a genuine loop through the island's western waters.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The Solaire Cup's extended course, looping around both Anguillita and Dog Island rather than a straight out-and-back run, sets it apart from many of Anguilla's shorter traditional boat races

02

The mystery stays covered

Watching from Meads Bay's beachfront, spectators can track boats disappearing behind and reappearing around visible offshore landmarks, giving the race an easy-to-follow geography that adds drama without needing specialist knowledge of sailing tactics or racing rules in order to enjoy the spectacle fully
