The slogan Warm Water - Hot Racing - Cool Parties is everything you can expect at the 2017 BVI Spring Regatta and Sailing Festival, March 27-April 2. Our racing takes advantage of the stunning array of picture perfect islands and idyllic sailing conditions, between laid marks and sixty-five islands, and this year is no exception. We've got the course and the races just for you!

The 46th edition of the BVI Spring Regatta and Sailing Festival is gearing up to welcome you and sailors from across the globe. It's been an exciting summer and the regatta team has been traveling to meet and greet people in Europe, UK, Holland and the US. At the Brest Maritime Festival in Brittany, France in July, sponsors from The Moorings, BVI Tourist Board and Winair, joined together and created a huge presence at the Festival.



A Grand prize of a full week sailing on Moorings 41, two tickets on Winair and complimentary entry fee to the BVI Spring Regatta was awarded. The master of ceremonies was our own HE Governor John Duncan, who added a seat to race with him on a traditional Tortola Sloop during 2017 regatta to the prize.

The Winner Mister Gaƫl Potard from France, will enjoy racing the BVI's for the first time.

In August we hosted the Cowes Morning show at Cowes Week in the UK along with our host sponsor Nanny Cay Marina and Resort. Nanny Cay will be announcing some very exciting changes and improvements to the Marina and for the regatta.
