The story

Antigua Racing Cup in English Harbour/Falmouth Harbour

The Antigua Racing Cup is a new spin-off from Antigua Sailing Week, launched with an inaugural April edition, offering four days of focused, technical course racing for high-performance race boats, modern performance cruisers and one-design classes off Antigua's south-east coast, based at the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Nelson's Dockyard, with a return already confirmed for a subsequent March.

The Antigua Racing Cup is the newest addition to Antigua's crowded sailing calendar, launched as an evolutionary spin-off from the long-running Antigua Sailing Week rather than as a wholly unrelated new event.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

As the newest event on Antigua's sailing calendar, the Racing Cup fills a specific gap its sister event left behind: dedicated, technical racing for high-performance boats and one-design classes, as Antigua Sailing Week itself shifted toward a broader destination-sailing format

02

The mystery stays covered

Basing the event at the historic Nelson's Dockyard also gives it immediate access to the same regatta-village infrastructure and social scene that has made Antigua's other major sailing events successful, without needing to build that reputation from scratch
