BVI Spring Regatta Date Change
In case you’re thinking about heading to the BVIs for one of the best regattas for bareboat charter sailors, then take note that the Caribbean Sailing Assn (CSA) has changed the dates to a week earlier than normal. The dates for the 2013 Spring Regatta and Sailing Festival will be from March 25th to the 31st.
The BVI Spring Regatta, now 40 years old, not only has classes just for bareboat charter boats, but works with local charter companies to encourage racing packages for the regatta. This year, the regatta attracted over 700 sailors from 13 different countries aboard 125 yachts, who enjoyed seven days of racing and partying around the BVIs.
Charter companies whose boats won in the 2012 regatta include MarineMax Vacations, The Moorings, Sunsail, Rob Swain Sailing School, and BVI Yacht Charters. Click on the company names for details of their racing packages.
