Grenada Sail Week
Probably the most varied regatta in the Caribbean, with a 'round-the-island' leg and several short courses. And of course there's the relaxed Caribbean vibe for which Grenada is famous. Perfect for anyone who enjoys hard team racing in tropical conditions. You don't have to be an experienced regatta sailor yet – there's room for all levels.
Day 1
Welcome aboard! Time to get to know each other and take your first refreshing plunge into the pleasant Caribbean water.
Day 2
We sail from Martinique to St Vincent. On this long sailing day you have the opportunity to get used to the boat and gain an overview of the various lines and winches and their functions.
Day 3
Another full day's sailing brings us to Carriacou, the starting point of Grenada Sailing Week.
Day 4
Now that we are all familiar with the Swan 65, we head out to sea for a few hours to practise intensively the specific manoeuvres we will encounter in the regatta.
Days 5–10
Regatta sailing. Each day brings new challenges: from a round of Carriacou to short course races off the coast of St Georges to a rally from Carriacou to Grenada. At the end of each day there is a prize-giving with local music, snacks and drinks.
Day 11
Filled with all the wonderful adventures, we sail back from St Georges to Carriacou.
Day 12
Sailing trip from Carriacou to St Vincent. Sheltered from the swell by the low islands of the Grenadines, we sail north under ideal conditions with good wind. Along the way we see countless islands, each more beautiful than the last.
Day 13
Sailing trip from St Vincent to St Lucia with views of the impressive Pitons.
Day 14
Sailing trip from St Lucia to Martinique. This area is usually teeming with numerous flying fish. An impressive spectacle of large shoals of fish and the birds that follow them.
Day 15
Arrival in Martinique. Enjoy a good breakfast, one last dip in the sea and reflect on the memories of all the adventures of the past fortnight.
