The story

SVG Sailing Week in St Vincent/Canouan/Bequia

SVG Sailing Week is a multi-island regatta across St Vincent, Canouan and Bequia, combining youth sailing championships, competitive racing classes and waterfront cultural events over roughly nine days each spring. The event begins with Junior Championships on mainland St Vincent before shifting to the Grenadines and concluding with races off Bequia.

Every spring, the waters between St Vincent, Canouan and Bequia fill with sails chasing a nine-day regatta that treats the entire Grenadine archipelago as its racecourse rather than confining competition to a single harbor.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Unlike single-venue regattas, SVG Sailing Week moves competitors and spectators across three distinct islands over its course, opening with a Junior Championship on St Vincent aimed at developing local sailing talent before the fleet relocates south to Canouan and finally Bequia

02

The mystery stays covered

The 2026 program included Racing Class, Cruising Class, J24 Class and a dedicated Canouan CSA Division, giving both serious racers and casual cruisers a place in the same event

03

The city starts moving

Organizers frame the week explicitly as a tourism and economic driver for the Grenadines, not only a sporting competition, with island-hopping logistics built into the race schedule itself
