Regatta, Caribbean Party for I-Tri

Thu, 08/08/2024 - 11:28

As of yesterday, the Antigua and Barbuda Hampton Challenge Regatta set for Saturday in Sag Harbor was still on the schedule. The event includes a related Taste of the Caribbean awards party that evening to raise money for I-Tri, a nonprofit that promotes athletics and empowerment for middle school girls.

The overall winner of the regatta will receive airfare, a charter boat, hotel accommodations in Antigua, and registration fees to compete in Antigua Sailing Week 2025 from April 26 through May 7 for a captain and a crew of five. Sporting the largest amateur sailing prize on the East Coast, the regatta includes divisions for both spinnaker and non-spinnaker boats. The notice of race specifies that all competitors will sail a monohull vessel of 21 feet or larger. The deadline to enter is tonight at midnight.

After the noon race, Bell and Anchor will host the awards party, open to sailors and non-sailors alike. It will have music, food, and signature cocktails starting at 5:30. Tickets cost $100 in advance and $110 at the door.

Race entry and cocktail party tickets can be purchased at bit.ly/3AfQtzK.
