Shake off the Christmas feast and fire up the sails for the 10th edition of the Boxing Day Barrel. “This revived classic traces its roots back to the old Antigua Yacht Club (AYC) races between Nonsuch Bay and Curtain Bluff,” says Zoe Carlton, AYC press secretary. Spinnakers are highly encouraged, the breeze is brisk, and the course is made for speed. Expect to see the big guns and fastest boats out in force for this one.
