Sailing Week in Antigua
Antigua does have one of the driest climates in the region with gentle trade winds and clear waters making it a favourite for sailing in the Caribbean.
Antigua Sailing Week is one of the top five regattas in the world. In April it comes alive at the historical Nelson's Dockyard . Nelson's Dockyard is part of a national park and is the only Georgian naval dockyard still existing in the world. It was once the most important outpost for the British Navy in the Caribbean, built in 1725. There are buildings along the waterfront marked with their former use and dates of origin and there is a museum of the area's history in the Naval Officer's House.
