The Antigua Classic
Yacht Regatta is organised by the Antigua Yacht
Club and will be governed by the current Racing
Rules of Sailing with amendments found in this
programme and within the Sailing Directions.
OBJECTIVE:
To encourage owners and crews of classic and
traditional yachts to sail alongside each other
on courses designed without the tight quarters of
other events, so that racing is fun and safe for
hard-to-manage and older vessels. 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 at the
Antigua Yacht Club, and is available to entrants
which 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 skipper's briefing.
All Entry Forms must be
handed in to the Antigua Yacht Club secretary no
later than 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday 19th of April.
For rating purposes, we would appreciate you
enter as soon as possible.
REGISTRATION:
All captains must register at the AYC between
18th and 19th April, to confirm arrival and to
receive important information and Sailing
Instructions. This applies even if your entry
form has previously been completed and accepted.
FEE:
US$3.50 per foot of the length on deck before the
1st April. To encourage early entries the fee
will increase to US$4 per foot after the 1st
April. A 5% discount is available to members of
CSA member clubs. Payment is due with the fully
completed entry form.
