{sidebar id=5)A total of 12 yachts are expected to compete in the 2nd Superyacht Cup (SYC) Antigua, set for December 12 to 15, and to be held out of Nelson's Dockyard. Last year's winner, Patient Falcon (Nelson Marek/Able Marine 95') will be back to defend its title, along with SYC veterans Timoneer (Dubois/Vitters 146'), Rebecca (Frers/Pendennis 138') and Yanneke Too (Dixon/Camper & Nicholson 112').

Peters & May, the UK-based international yacht transportation specialist, has been awarded ‘official logistics supplier' for the event.

In addition, the Ministry of Tourism for Antigua and Barbuda ensures the immigration process will be ‘fast-track' or speeded up at the airport for all pre-registered SYC participants.
