Lowell Wheatley Anegada Pursuit Race

The Anegada Race is nearly as old as the RBVIYC with the first edition taking place in 1977. It has become a major highlight of the BVI racing calendar and with great hospitality from the team at the Anegada Reef Hotel there's very little reason not to enter this one!
