Tall Ship® Talk
By Captain Uli Pruesse

The Antigua Classic Yacht Regatta Tall Ships World Peace Cup Competitions held each year since the first races in 1988, the Antigua Classic Yacht Regatta has grown to a worldwide and worldclass sailing event. Each April eligible crafts are invited to join the international fleet of yachts and tall ships competing in the waters off Antigua. The goals of the regatta are to maintain classic and professional seamanship and to reach out to trainees, multinational crews and passengers of the world's great sailing ships in a friendly competition on Antigua's beaches and race courses. The accumulating point system leads to 12 awarded trophies and one overall - The Tall Ships World Peace Cup, a crystal globe, hand-blown in Newport RI, USA.
Since the tall ships class was established in 1988 HMS Rose, Highlander Sea, Westward, Aquarius, Mandalay, Fleurtje, Bel Espoire, Sir R.B. Powell, Irene, Insulinde, Eye of the Wind, Stavros S. Niarchos and Star Clipper have raced in Antigua. Entries for 2004 include Sea Cloud I, Star Clipper, Stavros S. Niarchos, Tenacious and Sir R.B. Powell and we are trying to get many of the other tall ships to Antigua as well.
Antigua is the sailing centre of the West Indies and offers all facilities a sailing vessel needs. The weather allows sail training to continue during the winter months when vessels based in Europe might normally be laid-up "waiting" for sunshine in May. Sailing in and out of Falmouth Harbour is always a great moment due to the perfect wind conditions straight at the mouth of the harbour. Docks and anchorages are available in and around Falmouth Harbour..
You are cordially invited to participate each year in the middle of April in the TSWPC Competitions. Antigua Classics/TSWPC 2004 16-20th April.
