Antigua Racing Cup 2026: A New Regatta with a Proper Antiguan Welcome There are places that host regattas.
And then there are places where sailing actually belongs.
Nelson’s Dockyard is firmly in the second camp — and in April 2026, it added a new story to its long, salt-stained history with the arrival of the inaugural Antigua Racing Cup.
From 9–12 April, crews from more than 15 nations gathered beneath the old stone walls and timbered galleries of this UNESCO World Heritage Site — the world’s only working Georgian dockyard — to kick off what feels less like a new event, and more like something that has simply been waiting its turn.
