Final of 2023 Antigua Classic Yacht Regatta
The final race of the 2023 Antigua Classic Yacht Regatta was held with the sun beating down on a slight swell of deep blue Caribbean sea. The trade winds, which typically blow out of the east, swung to the southwest at around 10 knots
With the unusual wind conditions, the Cannon course was adjusted to allow the boats to sail most of the course on a reach” said Race Coordinator, Clare Cupples. “It was a joy being out on the sea today, such a comfortable ride” said Roz Preston, owner of the Bill Dixon designed 44-foot spirit of tradition sloop Sweet Dreams.
There was tight racing in several classes. In the schooner class Richard West’s 1928, 50-foot staysail schooner, Charm III and Nat Benjamin’s 65-foot, gaff-rigged schooner, Juno were tied for first overall in the class with one race left. But in today’s race Charm III sailed over the starting line too early so Juno won the race and secured first in the class for the Regatta. This then meant that Andy Hurst-Smith’s 56-foot Cherubini schooner Principles slid into second in her class.
In Modern Division A, two Antiguan-based boats, Sandy Mair’s First 35, Cricket and Bernie Evan-Wong’s modified Cal 40, Huey Too started the day with Cricket holding a one point lead. Cricket was not able to hold onto the lead as Huey Too took first in race three with Cricket coming third. “I’ve never beaten Huey Too in a regatta ever, we had our chance today but messed up the start and could never recover” said a dapper Sandy Mair, still wearing his tie and hat from the parade back at the dock after the race.
Other class winners included Matt Barker’s 1930, 65-foot cutter The Blue Peter in the Vintage and Classic division. Sarah Schelbert’s 35-foot Gurney sloop, Alani in Classic GRP B, Paul Deeth’s 50-foot ketch, Petrana in Classic GRP A, Alexis Andrew’s 42-foot Alwyn Enoe Carriacou sloop, Genesis in the Traditional class, Robbie Ferron’s Nonsuch 33, Bunglebird in Modern Division B and Don Ward’s 47-foot sloop, Freya in the Spirit of Tradition class.

Antigua Classic Yacht Regatta 2023
Race one of the 2023 Antigua Classic Yacht Regatta was sailed on the Old Road Course in perfect sailing conditions in English Harbour, Antigua today.
Competitors reported superb 15-20 knot trade winds with moderate swells on the race course and the crystal blue water of the Caribbean sparkling under the sun. Nicky, guest on board The Blue Peter commented “It was the most magical day of my life sailing on The Blue Peter. She is stunning and it was such a privilege to be on board. I cannot really put into words how magical it was.”
The 39 boat fleet ranged from Jamie Botin’s 178 foot, triple masted schooner, Adix to Carrick Jones’ J30, Absolute Properties (Blue Peter). The Schooner Class was won by Scott DiBiaso’s 65 foot, Nat Benjamin designed, Juno while The Blue Peter, Mathew Barker’s 65 foot Alfred Mylne cutter took first in the Vintage & Classic division and Phillip Cogdell’s Heard 35, Alice finished first in the Traditional Class. Don Ward’s Freya took first in the Spirit of Tradition class.
The racing was very competitive in Modern GRP A with Bernie Evan-Wong’s modified Cal 40, Huey Two taking first by under two minutes over Sandy Mayer’s First 35, Cricket and Markus Bock’s Montana only a minute behind. Sarah Schelbert’s 35 foot Gurney sloop came in first in the Classic GRP B. The second race starts off English Harbour on Saturday morning, April 22nd at the amended first start time of 9am. The full results can be seen here .
Yesterday’s Caribbean Night was sponsored by National Parks and featured the talented Hells Gate steel orchestra, the colourful cultural dancers and stilt walkers and the fearless fire eater and limbo dancer, Charm Livingston.

Antigua Classic Yacht Regatta 2023
The Antigua Yacht Club has great pleasure in announcing that, as from next year, the Antigua Classic Yacht Regatta will be run by a new team headed by Paul Deeth. The vision is to restore the Regatta to founder Kenny Coombs’ original concept of “like-minded people getting together to share their passion in racing stunning yachts in superb sailing conditions”.
The first move by this group has been to change the Event’s dates back to the traditional period before Antigua Sailing Week. Thus the 2023 Regatta will take place on 19th to 24th April, to include the Single-Handed Race, the Concours d’Elegance, three days of racing, the Parade of Sail into English Harbour, the Gig Racing and the Cream Teas. It will be mainly located at Nelson’s Dockyard, with plenty of opportunities to “swing the lamp” over a rum punch (or more) in that historic venue.
For further information or if anyone is interested in joining our new Classics Group as a volunteer, please contact [email protected]
