Back to School Regatta & Laser Masters Championship
The Back to School Regatta & Laser Masters Championship is a popular early-season sailing event hosted by the Royal British Virgin Islands Yacht Club (RBVIYC) and based at Nanny Cay Marina & Resort in Tortola, British Virgin Islands. The regatta brings together junior sailors and adult competitors for a weekend of competitive dinghy racing in the protected waters of the Sir Francis Drake Channel.
The event features racing across several popular small-boat classes, including ILCA 7 sailing dinghy (formerly Laser Standard), ILCA 6 sailing dinghy (Laser Radial), ILCA 4 sailing dinghy (Laser 4.7), Optimist dinghy class for both Championship and Green fleets, and RS Feva dinghy class. The Laser Masters Championship is scored according to age categories defined by the International Laser Class Association.
Known for its welcoming atmosphere and excellent racing conditions, the Back to School Regatta serves as a key kickoff to the fall sailing season in the British Virgin Islands, providing a competitive yet supportive environment for both developing youth sailors and experienced adult racers.
