Peters & May Round Antigua Race

Overview

* 26 April, 2025 *

The Peters & May Round Antigua Race has been exciting and popular with many Antigua Sailing Week participants for many years. It is an optional race held the Saturday before Antigua Sailing Week begins, and is open to all yachts, whether or not entered in Antigua Sailing Week.

The Peters & May Round Antigua Race will return again in 2025 on Saturday, April 26 with more classes, modified courses and more exciting racing than ever before!

This optional race is scored separately from the full week’s racing so the results have no impact on the overall results of the Regatta, so provides an excellent day of practice for boats preparing to compete in Antigua Sailing Week’s full week of racing, without being concerned that the scoring of this race will impact their week’s results.

In 2015 Lloyd Thornburg’s MOD 70 trimaran Phaedo^3 smashed the existing overall Peters & May Round Antigua Race course record with an elapsed time of 3 hours, 26 minutes and 9 seconds and won the Trophy for best elapsed mulithull time in the Race.

The existing Peters & May Round Antigua Race monohull elapsed time record, currently set in 2018 by the Americans on Warrior, the modified Volvo 70, in elapsed time of 3 hrs 55 mins 38 seconds.
