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.

Kick 'em Jenny and Pelican Marina Residences take Home the Prizes for 2010 Keelboat Series

Winner of Boat of the Year, Ian Hope Ross and crew from Kick'Em Jenny.
On Saturday July 31st the Sint Maarten Yacht Club organized the prize giving of the 2010 Keelboat Series. The event was also the unofficial opening of the new bar of the club: the bar has been extended into a large U-form, giving plenty space for the about 80 skippers, crew and supporters which represented the 16 local boats who participated in the series over the last 9 months. While the new bar wasn't completely ready yet and is (at time of writing) waiting for a new proprietor, the atmosphere at the club was excellent - the food was homemade and complimentary, while beverages were served by volunteers. An excellent opening night, even if it was unofficial.

James Avenges Laser Loss with Marlow Regatta Win

First place team sponsored bt Budget Marine Antigua, Karl James, Ashley Rhodes and Bishop Rhodes.
Karl James' number one Antiguan team turned in a typically masterful show to win the two day Marlow One Design Caribbean Keelboat Championship that concluded Sunday, never dropping below third in any of the eighteen heats sailed. It was consolation for James, a top Caribbean sailor and former Olympian who couldn't get a handle on the light conditions at last week's Laser Championship, finishing third overall. He relished this weekend's confused mixture of downpours, and blustery conditions in the Simpson Bay Lagoon that made racing the Sunfast 20s more unpredictable than ever.

Puerto Rico's Gonzalez Wins 2010 Scotiabank International Optimist Regatta

Puerto Rico's Jorge Gonzalez leads the pack in squally weather at the Scotiabank International Optimist Regatta.
Concentration spelled success for fourteen-year-old Jorge Gonzalez, from San Juan, Puerto Rico, who won the 18th annual Scotiabank International Optimist Regatta, held out of the St. Thomas Yacht Club, U.S. Virgin Islands, June 18 to 20. "It was cold, windy and shifty and that's what made it so important to concentrate," says Gonzalez who took the fleet lead on the second day of racing and held it when the two final races were canceled on the last day of sailing due to stormy weather.
