THE PLAN

The boat and crew will be in Antigua from the 11th April, and to make travel easier for everyone, we will depart Antigua’s Jolly harbour the morning of the 13th to arrive in St. Barths by the afternoon. This will also be useful training for the crew as we will aim to get the kite up for some quick gybes.

  • Training Days | Friday 12th > Saturday 13th

  • Race Registration day | Sunday 14th

  • Racing Event | Monday > Saturday

  • Lay Day & Beach Party | Friday 19th April

  • Prize giving | Saturday 20th April

  • Return to Antigua > Monday 21st

    (If the dates travel too/from St Barths don’t follow you, there will be other boats available making the same journey)

Good to know

  • In case there are boat chores required ahead of the race, you might be asked for a little support by your skipper and crew. It would be great if you could help out if necessary.

  • Fly into Antigua Airport - ANU (or St Barths)

    Travel is pretty straightforward to Antigua with it being the main hub for TransAtlantic flights from the UK and the rest of Europe as well as the USA

Accommodation:

We will be chartering a comfortable 45+ ft Catamaran which will form the mothership HQ of LSS during the regatta which we expect to come to around £500pp.

This will include:

  • Shared, cabins

  • Breakfast, lunch (packed lunches) and some dinners (cooking shared between the crew of Emily).

  • 2 Dinghies to take the crew too and from the shore/parties
