RORC Caribbean 600 2019
The RORC Caribbean 600 at the end of February is a fantastic event which has quickly grown to be one of the "must do" offshore yacht races and attracts top race yachts from all over the world to compete. The C600 takes competitors on a fabulous route of 600 miles of varied sailing around some of the most beautiful sailing areas of the world.
Heineken Regatta St Maarten 2019
The Heineken St Maarten Regatta features three days of racing around marks around the Island as well as some tight competitive windward leeward courses on day two. The Commodores Cup Regatta runs the day before the Heineken and gives crews a chance to ‘get it together’ with some more hugely exciting windward leeward round the cans competition. Combine all this with superb shoreside entertainment and you have a great event or as the organisers say ‘serious fun!’
BVI Spring Regatta 2019
The BVI Spring Regatta & Sailing Festival is spread over six days and includes some fun races to wet the appetite. Start with the coastal race to the famous Bitter End Yacht Club, and return to Nanny Cay in time for the main event, the regatta itself, three days of great competition on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Blue skies, warm seas and a superb array of fantastic social events and parties make the BVI Regatta a great fun event.
Les Voiles de St Barth 2019
Les Voiles de St Barth Regatta is a relatively new event on the Caribbean Regatta circuit but certainly one of the most spectacular. Run over a week in April between the BVI Regatta and Antigua Sailing Week it features 4 days of superb racing with a lay day on the Thursday.
Antigua Sailing Week 2019
Antigua Sailing Week is the last event on the Caribbean regatta season and never fails to pull out all the stops with incredible entertainment and exhilarating racing. If racing in steady trade wind breeze and guaranteed sunshine is your thing then book now.

Tougher than I expected!

The Middle Sea Race 2014 was an epic race that was much tougher than I ever expected. I had a fantastic time and cannot wait to do it all over again!

I loved every minute

Cowes Week 2009

Just wanted to send you a quick email to say how much I enjoyed the few days training and this weekends Cowes racing on Saturday and Sunday. Having never done anything like this before I wasn’t sure what to expect but I can safely say I loved every minute.

Thank you for the sailing experience, knowledge and suitably filthy jokes! I look forward to seeing/sailing with you all again in the not too distant future.

Best wishes Chris

Spring Series Racing

Global folk,

Just wanted to send a quick note to say thank you for the effort you put into the Spring Series racing and crew.I had a great time regardless of the conditions, met some great people (again) and learned so much I outgrew the other boat/crew I’d been sailing with (unintentionally of course).

Round the Island Yacht Charter

Round the Island Race 2014 Beneteau 47.7 Charter, It was very easy to commission a yacht. Andy clarified exactly what the teams expectations were, gave us one quote that included EVERYTHING meaning it was hugely competitive and made a yes very easy.

A perfect sailing adventure

Loved sailing with you Andy and all the way from Gib with you Gareth. You people are deadly serious when it matters and mad as hatters when it doesn’t…that for me is a perfect sailing adventure.

Sydney to Hobart race start 2006

There can be no finer spectacle in sailing and I could feel my hair standing up with the thrill of it.

I throughly enjoyed both the sailing and the social side of the experience and I was particularly impressed with the way the whole “Global Family” welcomed me as a newcomer.

Patrick Good Sailing Adventure

I took the opportunity to do the delivery trip from Cowes to Gibraltar with Global Yacht Racing in September this year and was rewarded by the most spectacular trip. Andy’s ability to provide expert tips and suggestions to enhance the sailing whilst keeping a great level of humour, fun and laughs made this trip fly past.

Joe Jarrah

I would at some point like to own my own boat but for now Global Yacht Racing’s set up represents good value for money by comparison and also takes the stress and time out of owning a yacht for yourself, plus, you’re racing competitively and learning at the same time. This is only possible with a well-prepared and well run boat and that is why I keep going back to Global Yacht Racing.

I competed in the Middle Sea Race in 2009 and it is an event that makes a big impression on you. The culture the scenery, even the harbour alone is stunning; you feel like you are in Julius Caesar’s Rome! The race itself is superb too, one of my best moments was sitting on deck watching Mount Etna spitting lava and wondering what it would be like when the volcano really blew. And then it did. It was incredible.
