The story

RS Elite Cup Antigua in Falmouth Harbour

A young but fast-growing keelboat regatta at Antigua Yacht Club, drawing RS Elite sailors from across the island's harbours, Jumby Bay, Nonsuch Bay, English and Falmouth Harbours, and Jolly Harbour, for tightly bunched, tactical racing in Falmouth Harbour that already has owners discussing forming a dedicated class association for the future.

The RS Elite Cup is one of the newest fixtures on Antigua's sailing calendar, launched at the Antigua Yacht Club in Falmouth Harbour to give the island's scattered fleet of RS Elite keelboats a reason to race together for the first time.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

What sets this regatta apart is the one-design format: every RS Elite is built to the same specifications, so races come down purely to crew skill and tactics rather than boat budget

02

The mystery stays covered

Watching from the Falmouth Harbour shoreline, spectators see boats separated by mere boat lengths change places repeatedly through each race, with the kind of close-quarters drama, penalty turns, and photo-finish line honours that make one-design keelboat racing especially readable and exciting even for newcomers to sailing
