The final day of this year’s Superyacht Challenge Antigua, which ran from January 28 to 31, was marked by great sailing conditions. Fifteen knots of easterly breeze, pumping up to 20 knots in gusty squalls, offered fantastic conditions for the amazing range of superyachts participating in this popular race.
