“Spectacular sailing”
“Challenging and entertaining”
...these are just some of the opinions expressed by those who took part in this year’s Grenada Round the Island Easter Race which started and finished at its new venue, Le Phare Bleu Marina in Petite Calivigny Bay.
A big thanks to all our sponsors, participants and volunteers to make this event such a success!
Thank you very much!
Hope to see you all again next year.

For the first time in the history of the Round the Island Easter Race, the Start and Finish of the race will be at Le Phare Bleu Marina, on the South Coast of Grenada.
Check out the web site of the Le Phare Bleu Marina.
The Race, taking place on the Saturday of the Easter Weekend, will go clockwise around Grenada. The course is approximately 45 nautical miles and can be sailed by yachts in three different classes; racing class (with spinnaker acccording to CSA rules), cruising class (without spinnaker, according to CSA rules) and multi-hull class (according to PHRF rules). The winners in each class will receive a prestigious prize.
From Friday to Sunday inclusive, yachts participating in the race can enjoy free berthing at Le Phare Bleu Marina. Friends and family not participating in the race on Saturday, can enjoy the facilities at Le Phare Bleu, including the swimming pool, and poolside bar, whilst children and adventurous adults can take part in the Pirates' Trail.
On Saturday evening, there will be the prize-giving party, with live music provided by a highly-acclaimed, funky Swiss band.
Sunday will be a day to relax and enjoy a brunch at the Marina and, for those who are still feeling competitive, taking part in a dinghy race around Calivigny Island.
