Caribbean Dinghy Championship
For 2019 a new race format will deliver three days of racing in four class events: Laser & Laser Radial, RS Feva and Optimist. Each class will be a Caribbean championship. A Nations Trophy will then be awarded based on criteria as described in the Notice of Race.
The new format has been designed to open up participation across more islands in the region. In addition there are two Para-sailing classes which have been added to the event, RS Venture Connect SCS (Seated Control System) and Hansa 303’s as well as a fun RS Zest Class.
Who is Eligible?
The CDC is open to members of the CSA from across the region. St. Marten, Puerto Rico and Antigua are the first three teams entered.

Race Management Clinic
Caribbean Sailing Week is delighted to confirm that it will be hosting a Race Management Clinic on the days prior to the conference, from Tuesday 15 to Thursday 17 October, 2019. The clinic will be delivered by World Sailing Nominated PRO Fabian Bach.
The Clinic is being hosted by the CSA and therefore is an opportunity to tailor the clinic to the needs of the attending islands. It is a first step towards National and International Race Officer qualification. Representatives of National Sailing Federations and Regional Regattas should look at this as the start of the opportunity to sustain a stable succession of knowledge and practical race management competency on their island and for the region.
The cost of the clinic is US$315 per person and includes lunch and two coffee breaks per day. A food package can be purchased for breakfast and dinner daily.
