The Spirit of Tradition Class was established worldwide in Antigua for vessels recently built along “classic” lines using modern techniques and materials. Yachts in this class must have a “look” that is true to a traditional design and must demonstrate excellent craftsmanship and tradition both on deck and in the hull. They may however, have modern underbodies and appendages and use modern technology in their rigs. The Committee will limit the number of entries for this class. We will accept yachts that are exceptional and those whose owners have gone to extraordinary lengths to ensure that their vessel maintains the beauty and lines characteristic of fine yachts built in the past. All yachts wishing to enter this class must complete a Pre-Entry Form and include photographs of hull rig and deck layouts, for approval into this class. After the yacht is accepted, an Official Entry Form will be sent to you by the Committee. The Spirit of Tradition Class entries must be measured and have a current CSA measurement certificate.
The Spirit of Tradition Class has a trophy structure of it's own. The legendary yacht Ticonderoga sponsors the trophy for First Overall in this class. It is the Regatta Committee’s hope that by creating the Spirit of Tradition Class, we can continue to encourage the future building of exceptional yachts that keep the classic traditions alive.
