For over 35 years, Bequia’s Easter Regatta (formerly held over the Whitsun Weekend)is famous for its unique blend of local double-ender racing, yacht racing, shoreside activities and Bequia hospitality. It’s a fabulous, colourful weekend, full of fun and camaraderie, skill and tradition, with the whole island caught up in regatta fever. Sunday’s Regatta Lay Day on Lower Bay beach sees a grand fete for boatloads of visitors from the mainland.The hard working volunteer members of the Bequia Sailing Club are responsible for putting on this high profile event every year, and the event is internationally renowned for being one of the largest regattas in the region, with well-run, challenging yacht races which include the six-race series which decides the annual J24 Southern Caribbean Championship.
