New Format & Dates For BVI Regatta
Sunday, September 23, 2012 at 05:20PM 
The organizers of the annual BVI Sailing Regatta & Sailing Festival hosted by Nanny Cay have announced changes to both the format and the dates for 2013. First, the dates have been changed to March 25-31, so mark your calendars.
Second, the Festival program will now include a race around Tortola for the Nanny Cay Cup, a race to Norman Island with beach time planned at Pirates Bar in The Bight, and then a fun day on and off the water at Nanny Cay, followed by the traditional Mt. Gay Rum Welcome Party for the Regatta.
More than 125 yachts are expected to compete, and there are two classes just for bareboat charters. The regatta website has a long list of charter companies providing bareboats suitable for racing, but get your reservations in early!
And, if you can beat the 4hr 15min ‘round Tortola record for monohulls, you’ll win a jeroboam of champagne, dinner for 15 at Peg Legs Restaurant, and pretty cool bragging rights.
