Some of the yachts include Clan VIII, Ganesha and Ocean Phoenix, among others.

The regatta is hosted at the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda in Virgin Gorda, the Caribbean outpost of the famous Costa Smeralda club in Sardinia.

This year, the club is launching the Westport Rendezvous, which invites motor yacht owners to join in the regatta event program both on and off the water, along with following the racing and “enjoy the spectacle of the sailing fleet.”
