Grenada Sailing Week | 28 Jan – 2 Feb 2024

Overview

Upbeat, growing, increasingly competitive, loads of fun with a variety of entertainment at two welcoming full service host marinas, Port Louis Marina and Prickly Bay Marina – these are some of the comments used to describe this sailing week.

The location of this event in one of the Caribbean’s cleanest, safest and friendliest islands, where racers and cruisers are made to feel extremely welcome by all.

Offering a challenging mix of sailing conditions and with more boats participating every year, the regatta continues to grow by adding more racing classes, and better courses customised to specific class needs with separate start and finish boats for increased efficiency. The regatta is quickly being established as a “must-do” regatta in the Caribbean racing circuit.

Background Racing Information

When racing, it is better to have a lower rating. This means that when you are taking part in the race, there will be less time added to your racing time. The higher the rating is; the more time that is added to your racing time. Charterers will obviously wish to have the lowest rating possible.

If the yacht has a furling mainsail, then their rating is lower, as, in theory, it takes longer to get around the course, whereas if they have a fully battened mainsail, the rating is higher as in theory the yacht will get around the course quicker.
