41st Stanford Antigua Sailing Week
O.k. Perhaps I am premature on this. But I am excited!
Announcing the 41st Annual Sailing Week in Antigua. Just giving you some heads-up on what is going on so you can start planning accordingly.
If you are unfamiliar, Sailing Week is a big event in Antigua. Over 200 yachts compete in 16 different classes. Thousands of people come to witness the races. Just as important, and as fun, are the events that are planned throughout the week.
On the morning of the first race (Sunday April 29, 2008), you can eat breakfast at the Look Out and watch the over 200 yachts get ready for the big event. Follow the boats along the south coast of Antigua until you reach the beautiful beach at Dickenson Bay. Here is the Dickenson Bay Beach Bash!
This is just the first day! The whole week is filled with events and concludes on Saturday May 5. More information can be found on the Official Stanford Antigua Sailing Week website.
Your next question should be; "What is the best way to experience this event?" My suggestion? Take your family, or a group of your friends, and hire a private driver. No need to hassle with parking or renting a car. Besides, your private driver will know all the activities that are happening. You can stay with the tourists or see how the locals party during this event.
The company I recommend is Scenic Tours Antigua. Scenic Tours Antigua is guaranteed to win you
over with its unique brand of environmentally-friendly and cultural experiences. They can handle your group 2 to 30!
Sailing Week, one of the top 10 regattas of the world, is organized by the Antigua Hotels & Tourist Association and sponsored by Stanford International Bank Ltd.
