The Antigua Yacht Club (AYC) is set to host the 2025 Caribbean Dinghy Championship (CDC), a prestigious event sanctioned by the Caribbean Sailing Association (CSA), from October 24 to 26, 2025. This four-day regatta will bring together the Caribbean’s finest sailors for a series of competitive races and regional celebrations in Antigua, the sailing capital of the Caribbean. The championship will feature six classes: Optimist, ILCA 4, ILCA 6, ILCA 7, Topper Fusion (double-handed), and RS Venture (double-handed/adaptive), catering to youth, senior, and inclusive sailing categories. Dr. Clarence Pilgrim, AYC Commodore, expressed pride in hosting the event, emphasizing the club’s commitment to competitive sailing and community engagement. Team Antigua, the defending Nations Cup champions, will aim for their fifth title on home waters, supported by local fans. The 2024 edition in St. Maarten saw growing participation from teams across the region, and organizers expect an even larger turnout in 2025. Karl James MBE, OLY, Event Coordinator at AYC, highlighted the CDC as a celebration of Caribbean identity through sport, promising an unforgettable experience both on and off the water. The CDC, governed by the CSA, continues to promote sailing, sportsmanship, and youth development across the Caribbean. For more details, visit the AYC website or contact [email protected].
