The course

The course for those attempting the Nanny Cay Challenge for the Round Tortola Record takes the fleet anti-clockwise around Tortola, leaving Beef Island, Scrub Island, Great Camanoe and Guana Island to port.

A slightly shorter alternative course offers competitors more tactical choices with the option to choose their route around Scrub, Great Camanoe and Guana after leaving Beef Island to port. The final stretch will see all competitors pass Steele Point, wiggle through Soper’s Hole before returning to finish off Nanny Cay.

Registration will be held at Peg Legs between 5:30 and 7:00 PM on Friday, November 17, 2023. The prize giving will take place at approximately 5: 00 PM on Saturday at Peg Legs.

The 2022 edition was won by Chris Haycraft with his Corsair trimaran Ting a Ling 2. Kevin Wrigley and Robin Tattersall won the Cruiser Racer division with Libertas and Meagan Woodman the Cruiser division racing New Beginnings with a group of adult trainees.
