The regatta was started by captains of classic yachts in 1987. The first regattas were unofficial and had no sponsors. Seven yachts entered the first, then 15 for the second. In 1990 the regatta became an official event of the Antigua Yacht Club with 30 yachts entered. In 2008 a fleet of 60 classic yachts showed up in Antigua. This short film was made in 1994. Today the Antigua Classic is a First Class world class event. If you are interested in classic yachts and the eastern Caribbean visit: http://www.caribbeanlandfalls.com/
