29th ANNUAL BVI SPRING REGATTA BIGGER FOR
THE BIG BOATS
The 29th annual BVI Spring Regatta is set for April 6-9, 2000 and will be
seeing some format changes and expansion to accommodate growing demand and
increasingly varied fleets and requirements.
The BVI Spring Regatta is now part of two major Caribbean racing series: the
Caribbean Big Boat Series (CBBS) which includes the Caribbean's yachting
triumvirate of Antigua Sailing Week (April 30-May 6), the Heineken Regatta,
St Maarten (March 3,4,5) and the Spring Regatta; and the Caribbean Ocean
Racing Triangle (CORT) series - first stop is the Heineken International Cup
in Puerto Rico on March 24,25,26 with the Rolex International Cup in St
Thomas on April 21,22,23.

To accommodate the CBBS and in response to yacht owners' requests for more
racing and more distance, the BVI Spring Regatta is going to increase the
racing for the Big Boat Fleet by two days and include some round island
races. "We're always seeking ways to improve the regatta and we listen
to what the competitors have to say - we're responding to demand. The Big
Boat owners want to stretch their legs on longer courses and we're happy to
oblige," said Bob Phillips, chairman of the BVI Spring Regatta.
Registration for the Big Boats will take place on April 4th with the first
race at 10.00am on April 5th.
Plans are also being made to add some destination races for the rest of the
fleet as well. "A few years ago people got bored with round island
racing and wanted course racing, but the tide has now turned and we're
getting more and more requests for round the island racing. However, we'll
make sure that we have sufficient races under our belt before we send people
off for the day," continued Mr Phillips. Registration willtake place on
April 6th with the first race at 10.00am on April 7th.
