SWAN CARIBBEAN CHALLENGE FINALE AT ANTIGUA SAILING WEEK

Antigua Sailing Week, 25 – 30 April, will be the finale event in the 2010 Swan Caribbean Challenge. This year there are nine Swan yachts competing at Antigua Sailing Week, including some famous faces like Swan 90, DSK Pioneer Investments (ITA), owned by Danilo Salsi who will be looking for a podium finish at the regatta. DSK recently competed in the RORC 600 earlier in the year where they won the award for Best Placed Swan.

Antigua Sailing Week is the highlight in the Caribbean sailing calendar and offers competitors a lively week of sailing. Guaranteed sparkling turquoise waters, coupled with warm trade winds and plenty of close tactical competition as they head round the beautiful beach-strewn coastline of Antigua, is the sort of challenge that sets Antigua Sailing Week apart from other Caribbean regattas. The lively social programme offers nightly festivities under the clear Caribbean sky, including a night at the famous sunset viewing point of Shirley Heights listening to sounds of a reggae band.

Swan yachts competing in the Swan Caribbean Challenge will have had to enter a minimum of two of the following events: Heineken Regatta; International Rolex Regatta; BVI Regatta; and Antigua Sailing Week being a compulsory event.

The top three favourites for the prestigious Asprey Swan Caribbean Challenge trophy are: Swan 48, Avocation (USA), owned by Karl Breyer; Swan 56CR, Clover III (USA), owned by Neal Finnegan; Swan 51, Northern Child (UK), owned by Christian Reynolds.

The Swan Caribbean Challenge is part of a series six international Challenges run by the Nautor’s Swan Racing Office. The Challenges provide a unique opportunity for Swan owners to compete for one of the prestigious silver Asprey Challenge trophies whilst experiencing the unique camaraderie enjoyed by Swan owners in the true ‘Spirit of Swan’.
