Regional 3 hour ago Follow News

St Vincent’s Sailing Week was a huge success again

Saint Vincent and the Grenadines has reinforced itself as a premier Caribbean sailing destination after delivering an exceptional blend of competitive racing, cultural experiences and impactful environmental stewardship.

The eight-day event drew sailors from across the Caribbean and beyond for thrilling yacht, cruising, and traditional double-ender races in St. Vincent, Bequia, and Canouan.

The successful staging of SVG Sailing Week 2026 featured the Sail Green SVG initiative, guided by international best practices in sustainable event management.

SVG Sailing Week 2026 was awarded the Clean Regattas Gold Certificate, recognising the event as one of the leading sustainable sailing competitions worldwide.

Organisers reduced single-use plastics and partnered with Action Bequia and All Island Recycling Inc to install clearly marked recycling stations and improve waste management where plastics were unavoidable.

Beach clean ups and educational sessions also raised awareness about marine life, including the protection of leatherback turtles.
