Welcome festivities kicked off on Thursday evening when the Regatta Village at Nanny Cay was officially opened with a stunning art exhibition by local artists representing the significance of maritime activity in the BVI, past and present, and the fabulous sound of Caribbean melodies by local musicians together with traditional dance.

Premier Natalio Wheatley who officiated the opening offered sage advice: "The most important rule for the BVI Spring Regatta is not whether you win or lose, but how much fun you have while you are in the BVI!"
