Registration is now open for the 2027 BVI Spring Regatta & Sailing Festival, scheduled for March 29 – April 4 in the British Virgin Islands. The five‑day program will begin with the Scrub Island Invitational Race on March 30, followed by the Nanny Cay Cup Round Tortola Race on March 31, a lay day on April 1, and the three‑day Spring Regatta from April 2‑4. Sailors can compete in the two‑day Sailing Festival, the three‑day Regatta, or the full five‑day series, with nine classes across two fleets navigating a mix of island and buoy courses around Tortola, Scrub Island, Salt Island and Peter Island.

The event attracts an international fleet, offering charter options from bareboats to performance race boats. Sponsors include Nanny Cay Resort & Marina (presenting sponsor for the 25th year), Mount Gay Rum, the Government of the Virgin Islands and The Moorings. Participants such as Kelly Wharton, who raced in 2026, praised the venue as “a sailor’s paradise,” while competitors like John Hele highlighted the challenging yet rewarding courses.
