Classic tradewind conditions prevailed for the final day of Antigua Sailing Week, serving up one last helping of awesome yacht racing. 15 knots from the south-east with a significant sea state delivered challenging conditions for the yachts. Going into the last day, the winners of many of the 11 classes were still in the balance, and for those teams that had already guaranteed class victory, there were other prizes to win. Nineteen teams were competing for the Royal Southern Yacht Club Inter-Yacht Club Challenge and there were many other awards still to be decided, including the big one – the winner of the Lord Nelson Trophy.
Congratulations to the teams that made the podium in today’s last race. The daily awards ceremony in the Presidente Beer Garden at Antigua Yacht Club has been a big hit with the crews and become the place to hang out after racing.
Full and final provisional results have been posted on the event web site. http://www.yachtscoring.com/event_results_cumulative.cfm?eID=1477
Special trophy winners, class winners, runners up and third place teams will be presented with their awards at tonight’s Final Awards Ceremony in historic Nelson’s Dockyard. The Grand Finale will be played out by DJ Tanny and the amazing Antiguan band, Asher Otto & Itchy Feet.
