When Grenada Sailing Festival stages the Westerhall White Jack Workboat Regatta on Saturday & Sunday 3 & 4 February 2018 on Grand Anse Beach there will be something missing – Styrofoam. The organisers, with the support of one of the Regatta’s key sponsors, True Blue Bay Resort, have pledged to keep the Regatta Village Styrofoam-free.

“We depend on our seas and the marine environment – for fishing, sailing, recreation and fun – everything the Workboat Regatta is about – so we must do all we can to keep our beaches and sea clean for everyone to enjoy,” said Damon DuBois, Westerhall Rums, the event’s Title Sponsor.

There will be two days of the most spectacular and competitive racing:  a full day of Community Class Racing on Saturday 3 February and again on Sunday morning, 4 February, when all crews will be going full throttle to win first place in their community races to qualify for Sunday afternoon’s GSF16 Match Race Final – for the highly prized overall title of ‘Champion of Champions’ & a cheque for US$1,000.00. Again this year there will be even more to race for – as the owner of the winning boat will walk away with a YAMAHA outboard engine presented by McIntyre Brothers – The heat of the competition is going to be off the charts.

There will be more action on Sunday in Grenada Sailing Festival’s own fleet of GSF16 Workboats, when each community nominates a Junior & Senior crew to compete to be ‘National Team Sailing Champion’ for 2018.  Once again, Carib is sponsor of the Senior National Team Sailing Race and Budget Marine is the Junior Team Sailing sponsor.

Crowds will also be able to enjoy all the best traditional dishes from Oil Down to Lobster at Community Kitchen food stalls and sample the range of Westerhall Rums, plus ice-cold Carib beers and Blue Aqua water at the Festival Beach Bars throughout both days – a true high spot to start the week of Independence celebrations.
