Welcome to the Rolex Antigua Sailing Week 2006
G O V E R N M E N T OF A N T I G U A and B A R B U D A
MESSAGE OF WELCOME
Greetings from Antigua & Barbuda, this is a fine time to let you know that our Beach is just the beginning
of your experience in Antigua & Barbuda.
As Minister of Tourism I would like to extend a warm Antiguan welcome to all sailors and visitors to our
twin island state. This is home of the 39th Annual Antigua Sailing Week which takes place from 30th April
to May 6th 2006. Antigua Sailing Week is one of the World’s major international regattas and indeed a
very enthralling event.
We invite you to sail our pristine waters over to Barbuda and visit the world famous Frigate Bird sanctuary,
snorkel and experience the greatest dives of your life. Stretch out on the pink sand beaches of Barbuda.
This is a land of festival and this year’s Sailing Week will be no exception, it will be more spectacular with
the growth that it has enjoyed amongst the international sailing community. Nelson’s Dockyard, with its
rich history, has embraced this event with lots of exuberance and entertainment. Antigua is indeed “The
Sailors Paradise”.
We know that you will feel at home among our friendly people. Please join us and enjoy our warm hospitality, our crisp climate, and the tranquility of our blue seas. We maintain that in Antigua & Barbuda you will
surely discover that “the beach is only the beginning” in our courtesy, our culture and world class cuisine.
We sincerely wish you an enjoyable stay and look forward to seeing you again and again.
Hon. Harold Lovell
Minister of Tourism & Civil Aviation

Chairman’s Welcome
On behalf of the Sailing Week Committee, I would
like to extend a warm Antiguan welcome to the 39th
Annual Rolex Antigua Sailing Week.
Started in 1967, Antigua Sailing Week has gradually
developed into one of the world’s leading regattas.
This year we are very excited about becoming part
of the Rolex family of international regattas. Rolex
sponsors some of the most prestigious yachting
events worldwide and we believe that this partnership will bring a new dimension to Antigua Sailing
Week and our position as the Caribbean’s premier
yachting event.
Even so it is the pristine waters and the Atlantic
trade winds around the spectacular coastline that
make Antigua Sailing Week such a unique event.
The transition from the Atlantic Ocean to the
Caribbean Sea is so breath-taking, the dark blue
ocean becomes a turquoise paradise, towering
cliffs give way to fine golden beaches, this is what
Antigua has to offer.
Whether you are in Antigua for the racing or just to
enjoy the spectacle from shore, we invite you to
participate in the many social events that surround
Antigua Sailing Week. There is an event for everyone
— enjoy a taste of Antiguan culture, enjoy the
Antiguan food and enjoy the Antiguan Rum — in
moderation of course!!
We hope that you enjoy your week with us, have a
fabulous time.
Neil Forrester
Chairman Antigua Sailing Week

Antigua Sailing Week 2005
The 38th annual Antigua Sailing Week held April 24
to 30, 2005, saw 183 boats representing 27 different countries competing in the granddaddy of them
all. Although winds up to 20 knots were seen some
race days, light winds dogged the event with
Division A racing cancelled on Tuesday. Division A
completed four races and Division B, five.
While the weather was unusual, spirits were high,
Penny Bloxham of Team Club Colonna, a Sun
Odyssey 451 in Bareboat IV, said: “We had a fantastic time – raced hard, partied hard, it’s just a pity
the wind wasn’t hard! The organization was slick
and superb – you should be proud. We’re all very
sad it’s over.”
“This year’s Sailing Week may not have been one
of the most spectacular but it was certainly memorable,” added vice-chairman Jan Santos. “We’re
used to perfect conditions here but managed to get
as much racing as we could under the circumstances. It was still a good year and we’re looking
forward to welcoming everybody back next year
including all the big boats that are undertaking other
endeavours this year.”
Titan XII, Tom Hill’s Reichel/Pugh 75 from Puerto
Rico and always the favourite this year, won Big
Boat Racing II with four points, the Lord Nelson’s
Trophy for fleet overall by four points and set the
inaugural Round Island Race record with an elapsed
time of 5 hours, 4 minutes and 45 seconds to win
the Yachting World trophy. Titan also won Best
Caribbean Yacht (Division A), Best Yacht Over 60
Feet and Racing Class, Caribbean Big Boat Series.
The much-anticipated participation of the ‘fresh out
of the box’ New Zealand supermaxi Maximus was
foiled by engine problems with the transport ship
and she arrived in Antigua as Sailing Week finished
on Sunday morning.
“It wasn’t the windiest day ever but it was a good
trade wind day and there weren’t any holes,” said
Titan’s tactician Peter Isler on how long he thought
the Round Island Race record would hold. “The key
is keeping the marks in the same place. That [racing
against the clock] has been the constant challenge
for us throughout the Caribbean series,” continued
Isler, “except for St Maarten where we had Carrera
to play with. The clock has always been foremost in
our minds especially in Tortola where we were
always within a minute on corrected time. We knew
we had to keep the pedal down and that’s the way
we have been sailing all week. We didn’t leave
much on the table.”
After her fifth place on the penultimate day of racing,
Equation managed to take Sir Peter Ogden’s Swan
601 Spirit Of Jethou to a tiebreak with a second
place finish on Friday, the final day of racing. Bill
Alcott and his Equation came out better to take second in class with Ogden taking the third place spot.
Les Crouch’s R/P 44 Storm with the boat’s builder
Paul Amon at the helm also beat Edgar Cato’s
Hissar on a tie-break in Racing II – both had seven
points each. Filip Balcaen’s Swan 56 Aqua Equinox
was third. However Cato took home the coveted
Asprey trophy for winning the NetJets Swan
Caribbean Challenge after a demanding week of
racing against 22 other Swans.
Enzyme, the Trinidadian Henderson 35 comprised of
old Legacy crew, paid Dougie Myers, their skipper
who passed away last year, the respects they had
hoped by winning Racing IV, the “Caribbean class”.
Antiguan Lost Horizon II was second having suffered
a disqualification the previous day. EIB-Marina Bas
du Fort, the Beneteau First 10 from Guadeloupe,
was third. Russian Swan 48 Murka topped
14
Racer/Cruiser III.
Tarka, the Cork and Cowes Week class winner, can now add Antigua Sailing
Week to the list. The UK-based First 40.7 bested fourteen other boats including
five other First 40.7s in Racer/Cruiser II and took the Sanhall Trademarks Trophy
for best overall racer/cruiser. Having cruised and raced the Caribbean since
crossing the Atlantic with the ARC, Antigua Sailing Week was the prize. Nick
Jones, owner and bowman for the week said: “This [Antigua Sailing Week] was
always the big one and this was the one that we went ball’s out for to try and get
all the boys out from home and do well. It’s always nice to finish up a regatta
with four points from four races even beating the mighty Titan which I think had
six [in fleet] in the end.”
Next 57 Genesis – full of Maximus crew, including co-owners Charles St Clair
Brown and Bill Buckley, left high and dry by the 100-foot supermaxi’s no-show
– took the class win in Performance Cruiser I and Danilo Salsi’s Swan 75 Dasian,
was second. Swan 46 Milanto was third.
Dasian, on her first regatta outing since her launch last year and loaded with
Italian talent including America’s Cup veteran Lorenzo Bortolotti as tactician,
round the world sailor and Star Olympian, Pietro D’Ali, as mainsail trimmer, and
Gigio Russo of North Sails Italy as headsail trimmer, saw her class lead in
Performance Cruiser I disappear before her eyes on the last day of racing. Some
of the larger faster boats, including Dasian and YDL 96 Symmetry, suffered from
the shifting winds on the Division B course when the beat back to the finish
turned to a fetch for the boats at the back of the fleet. Swan 651 Burggolf took
the day and Dasian was relegated to tenth place, Symmetry, eighth.
Day by Day
For the first day of racing the fleet made its way to
Dickenson Bay and the bad weather that sliced
through the fleet as they prepared for the regatta the
day before, held off. A dark sky welcomed participants but 14 knots of wind, with some 18-20 knot
gusts, drove the fleet North and sunshine was eventually the staple for most of the day. The fleet started
off English Harbour and after a short beat East,
headed West and then North with those that could,
carrying spinnakers for much of the way. Division B
boats were given a little dog leg into Curtain Bluff
and Division A was sent further out to sea.
Surprising few, Titan XII romped home first taking
the day on elapsed and corrected time in Big Boat II.
She beat Mari-Cha’s time last year by 12 minutes
with an elapsed time of 2 hours and 21 minutes.
Showing good form, Bill Alcott’s Andrews 68
Equation was second. Storm topped Racing III.
Antigua’s Jamie Dobbs and his Lost Horizon crew on
their Olson 30 – the smallest boat in their class –
surfed their way to a win in Racing IV. In Division B,
Dasian got elapsed and corrected time in
Performance Cruiser I. Second was 57 Genesis.
Warren Batt’s Australian Farr 46 Mustang Sally took
home two trophies for winning Cruising Class I and
the overall prize for Cruising.
In a hard-fought week, Beneteau 44 Seabiscuit with
an all-woman crew, took the overall Bareboat fleet
prize and Bareboat V. “It has been a hard week all
week long,” said skipper Pat Nolan. “We concentrated really hard. We paid a lot of attention to our navigation, we worked very well together as a team and
we kept our eye on our competitors the whole time
to try and stay between them and the mark. We just
tried to sail as fast as possible and as smart as possible – at the same time!”
As the fleet anchored in Dickenson Bay the Virgin
Atlantic Beach Bash kicked off with a water ski
demonstration by the Stars of Florida water ski team
accompanied by the pumped up and pumped out
James Bond theme on the beach side sound system. Virgin Atlantic’s Sir Richard Branson made a
guest appearance in the Bath Tub Derby but didn’t
rank in the final three – throwing his crew overboard
and jumping ship himself may have had something
to do with that. After the Derby prize giving, which
saw some leg wrestling for additional tickets on
Virgin Atlantic, Abba One closed the proceedings for
the afternoon by opening their set with Gimme!
Gimme! Gimme!
first race was abandoned due to the wind shifts.
Yachts heading to, and from, the leeward mark with
their spinnakers up was the clincher for the race
committee.
Further inshore, Division B sat in rain, which took
the wind with it. The rain held off until the fleet had
rounded the marks off Blue Waters on the northwest
tip of Antigua. After an unusual spinnaker run to
these marks, the fleet was heading back on an
equally unusual beat when the heavens opened and
the wind disappeared. The fleet sat bedraggled
looking for wind, facing each and every direction.
This same rainsquall, which had headed up along
Antigua’s coast from the south, hit the committee
boat on Division A from the north. The yachts in
Division B slowly escaped the wind vacuum and the
race committee shortened the course.
The weathermen struck for the second day as the
light wind that was forecast settled on the fleet.
Unseasonably light wind postponed the races for
Division A and B fleets for an hour and while it
eventually filled in enough to start races, it never
really held.
On the Division A course – further out to sea than
Division B – the wind was in the region of 8 knots
and 220 degrees. By the time the start sequence
had completed the wind had dropped to four knots.
When the racing was finally abandoned for the day,
the wind was down to two knots and had shifted to
340°– it reached all other directions in between.
Titan XII was 300 yards from the finish when the
Although it looked like a lottery on the water, a number of class winners from the previous day’s racing
also won in these trying conditions including Dasian,
Mustang Sally, Nanuk, Justice, Seabiscuit and
Durley Dene. Those that headed inshore got the
wind when it returned first. “We just kept trickling
along. A lot of the others just parked up,” said Ollie
Alsop, crew member on Durely Dene.
Another boat to head inshore was Dufour 47, SAP
Lycee Blanchet. This yacht, crewed by students from
Guadeloupe that had never flown a spinnaker before
this event and skippered by their teacher, racked up
a first place.
“The rain and wind went left and right and we
played good,” said skipper Frederic Fernandez.
“After the rain came, everyone took their spinnakers
down but we kept ours for three or four minutes
more. During the rain we stayed in the right
direction for the next buoy and we had a little 18
boats was a pleasant surprise as they raced on the
South Coast Race between Curtain Bluff and Shirley
Heights. The Division B Falmouth Harbour Race started with lighter winds off Jolly Harbour. The course
started with a short beat, which was followed by
some deep downwind sailing, a reach and then a
good solid beat in a freshening breeze with twentyknot gusts to the finish off Falmouth Harbour.
In Division A, as it was for Division B towards the
end, sailing the shifts – of up to 30 degrees – was
the order of the day. As the fleet headed upwind
“good size puffs” came off the island to the left and
while following them was the thing to do, the key
was to not get too close to the cliffs and get
becalmed below Shirley Heights. Downwind these
same puffs held further offshore and so the winning
boats stayed further out where there was also a little more current to carry them back to the leeward
mark. Both divisions converged towards the end of
racing at the Legacy mark off Curtain Bluff, the last
windward mark for Division B, and the leeward mark
for Division B.
wind, but enough, to go on. After we go to the left,
inshore, we kept the wind and doubled [the distance] on all boats. We stayed in the wind but we
were a little bit lucky.”
None of the old-hands that have run Antigua Sailing
Week were able to recall a similar race day for the
event. “Late-80s or early-90s” was as close as it
got. The race committee cancelled the inaugural
Round Island Race due to take place the next day
and the yachts in Big Boat Racing II and Racing 3
joined the rest of the Division A fleet on the South
Coast Race.
The wind returned for the third day of racing and
although not as strong as some Sailing Week days,
the 12-20 knots that greeted the Division A racing
Titan XII racked up another win to go into Lay Day
leading class and fleet with two points in each.
Edgar Cato’s Swan 56 Hissar won Racing III and
shared class lead with Swan 56 Aqua Equinox and
Trinidad’s R/P 44 Storm, each with six points
“We got a good start and got out in the fresh air
before the other boats did and then we had really
good speed and legged out from the other boats”
said Hissar’s tactician Jack Slattery. “Once we got
about 50 yards out we stretched from there and
stretched all day.”
Disco Inferno II, the UK-based First 47.7, racked up
her first win in Racer/Cruiser I and Tarka won
racer/Cruiser II to solidify her class lead.
www.sailingweek.com
In Performance/Cruiser I, Abbott Brown’s 96-foot
Symmetry finally got the better of the Italian Swan
75 Dasian. So did Genesis, Capercaillie and
Burggolf. Dasian found herself fifth but remained top
of the class with Symmetry only one point behind.
In the Bareboat classes, some yachts had started to
entrench their positions: Patrick Festing-Smith’s
Nanuk Of The North racked up a third win and was
leading Bareboat II by three points. Justice also
racked up her third win to lead Bareboat IV by seven
points as did Durley Dene in Bareboat VI.
Racing returned on Thursday after the Layday high
jinks which included beach antics on Pigeon Beach
and hockey Canadian-style on the Falmouth Harbour
basketball court. The fleet was greeted by 14 knots
on the start line and twelve boats in Racing Big Boat
II and Racing III undertook the 44-mile challenge of
the inaugural Round Island Race for the Yachting
World Trophy which was re-instated after its cancellation on Tuesday.
From Titan’s race-winning perspective, the weather
was good for the entire way around the island: 1418 knots as they beat up the south coast, 15-20
knots along the east side of the island on a jib reach
that opened to a spinnaker reach and then a spinnaker run in 16 knots along the north side. By the
time Titan had turned the corner at ‘Sandy’ on the
north west side of the island, Titan hadn’t seen the
wind fade at all. A five-minute wind hiccup to 10
knots after ‘Sandy’ quickly built back up to 14-18
knots for the beat around the bottom of the island
back to the finish.
Division B beat to ‘Standfast’ out to sea and headed
back inshore on a spinnaker reach to ‘Willoughby’,
followed by another beat to ‘Halfmoon’ and a long
downwind leg back to finish off Falmouth Harbour.
By Willoughby, the wind and seas had started to die
a little and as the afternoon wore on the wind was
down to 9 knots with puffs taking it to 11 knots.
The Italians onboard the 75-foot Swan Dasian, powered away from a good start and held off the YDL 96
Symmetry until the last windward mark but Dasian
was faster downwind and beat the higher-rated
Symmetry over the water to earn another first place.

In Racing III, Michael Finn’s J/160 Kativa from the
USA obviously reveled in the round island conditions
and got her first gun with Hissar second and Storm
third.
The rest of Division A sailed a South Coast Race
looping between buoys off Falmouth Harbour and
Curtain Bluff.
Racing IV saw some upset for the Antiguan boats.
Jamie Dobbs’ Lost Horizon II was disqualified for
missing a mark which sent them to fourth in class.
After a dismasting on Tuesday, Geoffrey Pidduck’s
Mermaid II did not return to the start line and neither did Caccia Alla Volpe after a disqualification on
Tuesday. Trinidadian Henderson 35 Enzyme won to
go into the last day leading the class by one point.
Mikhail Mouratov’s Murka turned the table on First
47.7 Disco Inferno II to take the lead in
Racer/Cruiser I by three points.
In the bareboat classes, Nanuk and Durley Dene of
Horizon Yacht Charters, together with Justice,
topped Bareboats II, VI and IV respectively for the
fourth time. The battle was on for the fleet prize
with one race to go. Justice was leading Seabiscuit
by one point, with Durley Dene five points behind
her. Last year’s clean sweep winners in class, fleet
and the BCR, Phil Otis and crew, were third in class
and tenth in fleet. Jan Soderberg was tied for first
place in Bareboat III with fellow Swede Pereric
Berggren with nine points each. Both were sailing
Dufour 50s.
Light winds returned to Antigua Sailing Week for the
last day of racing. Both divisions raced off the south
coast of Antigua but Division A, on the eastern side
of the island with a course that took them further
out to sea, had a little more wind. By the afternoon,
fifty-foot bareboats were traveling downwind at 2.5
knots. Although light, the wind did hold to give a
final tally of four races for Division A and five for
Division B.
The Lord Nelson’s Ball held at the Copper & Lumber
Store marked the end of the 38th annual Antigua
Sailing Week. Rain brought an abrupt finish to the
prize giving but filled the dance floor early.

Bareboat Championship Race 2005
2006 will see the fourth annual Bareboat
Championship Race take place. Introduced in 2003,
the Bareboat Championship Race is held on the
Saturday after the main racing finishes and pits the
top three in each of the bareboat classes against
each other.
For 2005 six bareboat classes were represented
and thirteen yachts made it to the start line in a
light, 8-knot breeze. Hans Petersohn and his crew
onboard the Sun Fast 37 Ora emerge victorious over
Pat Nolan on Seabiscuit in the three-hour race. With
Seabiscuit having already won Bareboat V and the
overall Bareboat fleet prize, Nolan and crew were
aiming for a hat trick with a Bareboat Championship
Race victory also but Petersohn managed to block
Seabiscuit’s third title; Ora had finished second to
Seabiscuit in Bareboat V.

Jan Santos Trophy
Behind every sporting event in the world there are
key individuals who make things happen behind the
scenes. Antigua Sailing Week is no exception. For
the first 34 regattas there was no official way to pay
tribute to these individuals. So, in 2001 the Jan
Santos Tropy was established as a special way to
recognise those people who make a difference each
spring in Antigua.
The Trophy was named for the indefatigable Jan
Santos who has given so many years of service to
Antigua Sailing Week. She continues to do so in her
present role as vice-chairman.
The Jan Santos Trophy is awarded each year to a
Sailing Week participant for outstanding service or a
special contribution to the annual event. The award
is open to volunteers and to competitors.
In 2005 the award was a attributed to Mr Peter
Deeth. Peter first came to Antigua in 1960 after a
distinguished flying career with the RAF and subsequently with B.O.A.C. and B.W.I.A. He built the Inn
at English Harbour which opened the following year
in 1961 and ran the hotel for the next 30 years.
Peter was the first Antigua Yacht Club Commodore
(then the English Harbour Yacht Club) and was part
of the start up group for Antigua Sailing Week,
personally funding it when necessary. It was his
enthusiasm that has made the Antigua Sailing Week
into the world class event that it is today.

Swan Caribbean Challenge 2005
Hissar Best Swan In Sailing Week

were 22 Swans in the running for the NetJets Swan
Caribbean Challenge Trophy. Winner Edgar Cato
chartered Swan 56 Lolita for the week and raced
her under the new guise of Hissar. Frank Savage,
Lolita’s owner, had taken home the Swan Challenge
Series trophy at the previous two Antigua Sailing
Weeks, which only goes to confirm the strength and
stamina of this classic Swan 56 when coupled with
two impressive crews.
Throughout the week, competition between Swans
was strong in the Racing Big Boat II division, with
Erck Rickmer’s Swan 86 Flying Dragon, Sir Peter
Ogden's Swan 601 Spirit Of Jethou and Swan 86
Dreamland (returning to competition after a 41Z2
year circumnavigation, and last seen racing in the
2002 Sydney to Hobart Race), competing alongside
the new Swan 62 Gienah, chartered from Nautor’s
Swan Caribbean Charter base. It was Spirit of
Jethou that in the end triumphed as the highest
placed Swan in the class, taking second place overall. Four Swan 48s also enjoyed a week of close
competition within the Racer/Cruiser I Class –
Murka, Affinity, Vocation and Yocahu, along with
Swan 51’s Northern Child of St. Peter Port and Star
battled it out for a podium place, with Murka claiming overall victory as class winner.
On the final day of Antigua Sailing Week, Nautor’s
Swan hosted the Swan owners’ reception, attended
by Challenge Trophy winner Cato and other members of the Swan family. More than 300 guests
gathered at the Cooper & Lumber Store in Antigua
to celebrate a great week of sailing and launch
NetJets title sponsorship of the Swan Challenge
Series. Spanning the international racing circuit, the
NetJets Swan Challenge Series trophies are awarded to owners of Swans with the highest ranking in
regattas around the world.

The Caribbean Big Boat Series
Would you rather spend your winter racing in the
cold and the gray, or the warm and the blue of paradise? Well, if it’s paradise you pick, paradise is
spelt C-B-B-S. The Caribbean Big Boat Series
(CBBS) is the answer you’re looking for, the three
jewels of the Caribbean are just waiting for you to
enjoy the sparkle of life and colour that they offer.
As soon as we said the three jewels of Caribbean
you knew at once that of course we were talking
about these three outstanding regattas: the
St.Maarten Heineken Regatta, March 3rd 4th and
5th; the BVI Spring Regatta, March 27th to April
2nd, which, talking of jewels, is celebrating its
Emerald Jubilee – 35 years and going strong; then
we have the jewel that started the collection,
Antigua Sailing Week, April 30th to May 6th.
Can you turn down the chance to race against one
of our own great Caribbean boats, the mighty Titan
XII from Puerto Rico? Tom Hill and Titan have now
won the CBBS for past two years beating some very
worthy opponents. Are you up to the challenge?
For more information please contact Cary Byerley
Email [email protected]
Website: www.bigboatseries.com
Phone: 599-552-0068
The proud sponsors of the CBBS are FKG Rigging
and the Yacht Clubs at Isle de Sol and Port de
Plaisance.
The CBBS offers double the fun at each regatta. Not
only do you compete in the regatta classes but
each race of that regatta counts towards the points
for the CBBS. Each regatta leg has its own CBBS
trophy and each leg counts towards the ultimate
bragging rights – winner of the 2006 Caribbean Big
Boat Series,
If for some reason you are not able to make three
trips to paradise then two will do just fine, you can
still enter the series by only doing two regattas. The
series is open to boats of 60 foot and up, please
don’t get me wrong this does not mean that we
would not love to have you racing in the Caribbean
if you have a smaller boat but for the Caribbean Big
Boat Series you do need to be one of the big boys.

Guadeloupe to Antigua Yacht Race 2005
The annual precursor to Antigua Sailing Week is the
44-mile Guadeloupe to Antigua Race starting off
Des Haies and finishing off English Harbour. The
current record is held by Robert Miller’s Mari-Cha IV
which was set in 2004 when she took line hours
with a time of two hours, 18 minutes and 42 seconds – she shattered her own record set by her
previous incarnation in 2001 by 22 minutes and 20
seconds. Visione, Hasso Plattner’s 140-foot Baltic,
also broke the record finishing eight minutes behind
Mari-Cha.
The 2005 run from Guadeloupe was a little more
sedate and light winds meant that Mari-Cha’s
record was never in any peril. Fourteen boats
crossed the startline off Des Haies and Dixon 65,
Liara, earned line honours crossing the finish line
off English Harbour, five hours, 13 minutes and 30
seconds later. But it was Top 50, a BOC Open 50
skippered by Guadeloupe’s Luc Coquelin, that won
the overall prize in the 44-mile race. Swan 65
King’s Legend was second and Santa Cruz 70 Hotel
California was third.
Each year the race is followed by the English Harbour
Rum Crew Ball at Pigeon Beach, Falmouth Harbour.
