Racing around the 21.5-square-mile island of Tortola, BVI, has challenged sailors for over 50 years. Starting and finishing off Nanny Cay, the November 21 event welcomes monohull racers and cruisers, multihulls, foilers and bareboats. Entrants can also contest the anticlockwise Nanny Cay Challenge. “Typically, the largest fleet is the Corsair trimarans, but we also see a good number of bareboats,” says Royal BVI Yacht Club manager Tamsin Rand. Spectators can watch from Nanny Cay’s breakwater or vantage points around the island. The afterparty is at Peg Legs.
