The first superyacht cup antigua: an unforgettable event
Antigua’s Superyacht season is well underway, and Nelson’s Dockyard has been busy, first with the Charter Yacht Meeting and then with the 1st Superyacht Cup Antigua. A unique event followed hard on the heel from the success of The Superyacht Cup in Palma, but with a change from the Mediterranean to a Caribbean style!
Following directly after the Antigua Charter Yacht Meeting, the Superyacht Cup attracted interest from many of the yachts who annually visit the Caribbean as well as new yachts from the US and Europe.
The event followed broadly the same format as in Palma, held over four days with sailing on three of the days. Pursuit racing and a specially developed ‘superyacht performance assessment’ gave the very different styles and sizes of yachts a chance to compete against each other, and provided for exciting, competitive sailing for everyone. Each evening the social program displayed the best of Caribbean hospitality at the famous Superyacht Cup dock-side parties.
A lot of yachts took part in 1st Superyacht Cup Antigua including the renowned Maltese Falcon, the revolutionary 88M clipper built by Perini Navi and launched earlier this year. Also taking part was Peter Harrison’s Farr designed Sojana, who took part in SYC Palma, down from the US was Patient Falcon.
