The story

Canouan Regatta in Canouan

The Canouan Regatta, now run as the Canouan Cup within the broader St Vincent and the Grenadines Sailing Week, brings modern race boats and traditional double-ender sailing craft together off Canouan's steady-breeze waters, pairing technical offshore racing with the island's resort-and-marina shore scene.

Canouan's racing calendar sits inside a bigger recent development in Grenadines sailing: the launch of St Vincent and the Grenadines Sailing Week, a multi-island regatta programme that strings together stops in St Vincent, Bequia and Canouan into one connected week on the water.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Canouan's leg of SVG Sailing Week is distinguished less by size than by contrast: it is the technical, wind-driven counterpart to the folk-heavy Bequia Easter Regatta that follows it in the same week, and it keeps a place on the course for traditional Double Ender sailing craft, a boat type that has fished these waters for generations, racing alongside modern designs

Traditions & symbols

The language of the festival.

What moves first

Living ritual

Double Ender racing preserves a regional Grenadines boatbuilding style used historically for fishing

Water and renewal

Living ritual

and its inclusion alongside modern race yachts is a deliberate nod to that maritime lineage rather than a purely competitive sailing event
