The story
West End Jr Sailing Regatta in West End
West End's junior sailing regatta brings young Bahamian sailors into the calmer waters off Grand Bahama's westernmost settlement, a former rum-running port now centered on the Old Bahama Bay marina. It runs as a community-scale youth sailing fixture rather than a large public festival, typically in the April-to-May window, with limited published detail on its organizing club and format.
West End sits at the far western tip of Grand Bahama, a once-busy Prohibition-era rum-running port that is now a quiet settlement anchored by the Old Bahama Bay marina and resort, and its junior sailing regatta brings youth sailors into that same protected, historically significant stretch of water.
