Mount Gay Round Barbados Race
The Mount Gay Round Barbados Race will take place on Sunday 21st Jan 2024.
The yacht will circumnavigate the island clockwise starting with the West Coast of Barbados. If the crow flew in a circle, the Mount Gay Round Barbados Race would be about 60 miles, but yachts end up doing around 90 miles. The constant trade winds and incredible sailing conditions make it a great course.
Starting and ending at the Barbados Cruising Club, the boats will sail through the historic Carlisle Bay, pass the Bridgetown deep water harbour to starboard.
Then begins a 20-mile tight reach in calm water up the West Coast of Barbados, past the homes of the very rich and famous passing Holetown and Speightstown.
