Freighter Full of Fun - Family Islands Regatta and Star World Championship

Sailing is a very competitive sport in the Bahamas.

While anchored across from the Atlantis resort in Nassau harbour we witnessed a freighter leaving on its way to Georgetown. It was packed full of Bahamian sloops and their crews on route to the Family Islands Regatta which was scheduled for the end of the week.

As we made our way past Porgee Rocks on April 16th, on our approach to Nassau harbour, we viewed Star World Championship boats as they raced past us.

This racing competition, in which 2 man racing crews vie for one of the most cherished prizes in competitive sailing, is hosted annually in various venues around the world. Luckily for us, it was hosted by the Nassau Yacht Club and happily a Canadian couple clinched the 6 race series. Congratulations to the Canadian team of Richard Clarke and Tyler Bjorn.

We're proudly flying our flag.
