Where she lies
Trade-wind sailing from the cradle of classic yachting
English Harbour is where the Caribbean charter and classic-yacht world begins each season. Berth a boat in Nelson's Dockyard, a Georgian naval yard turned living marina, and step into steady 15-20kt trades, flat-water reaching to the leeward islands, and a winter calendar built around Antigua Sailing Week and the Classic Yacht Regatta.

Reliable easterly trades and warm water year-round; hurricane season (Jun-Nov) aside, this is champagne reaching. English and Falmouth Harbours are deep, hurricane-holes of last resort; the whole Leeward chain opens downwind from here.
