Changes Afoot for Antigua Sailing Week
With dates confirmed as the 24th to 29th April 2011, one look at your calendar will tell you two things about next year's Antigua Sailing Week. First, racing will start on Sunday, as it did for 2010, although quite by accident (remember the Icelandic Volcano?), and having set off while the spectators with a birds' eye view cheered the racing from their Shirley Heights lookout point, we were all reminded of the pleasures of tradition. So back to a Sunday start for Antigua Sailing Week. The second thing is that the event will take place over Easter, so the decision to enter should be made quickly, and enter you must for 2011, not least because a few other changes are afoot.
