The Antigua Classic Yacht Regatta was born in 1988 and has steadily grown throughout the years.  The 50-60 participating yachts come in a wide variety - from classic ketches, sloops and schooners to J Class yachts and Tall Ships.  It is organized by the Antigua Yacht Club (AYC) and will be governed by the current Racing Rules of Sailing with amendments found in this program and within the Sailing Directions.

- Objective: To encourage owners and crews of classic and traditional yachts to sail alongside each other on courses designed to be without the tight quarters of other events, so that racing is fun and safe for hard-to-manage and older vessels of any size. The emphasis is on sailing together rather than on racing, as well as on the enjoyment of the ideal conditions of the Caribbean Sea.
- Entries: Make sure that you are entering a classic boat! An Official Entry Form is available from the Antigua Yacht Club, and is available to entrants who have been accepted by the Committee either verbally or in writing. If the vessel is unknown to the Committee, a Pre Entry Form must be read, completed, and accepted by the committee, before an Entry Form will be issued. All measurements are to be supplied by the captain or owner on the Entry Form before a rating will be issued at the skippers briefing. Please note that the Spirit of Tradition Class does require a full and currant CSA measurement certificate. Contact the committee for details. All Entry Forms must be handed in to the Antigua Yacht Club secretary no later than 5:00 p.m. on Friday the 10th of April. For rating purposes, we appreciate your entering as soon as possible.
