The National Family Island Regatta is the largest and oldest of the many yearly Bahamian wooden racing sloop regattas. After a three year pause due to pandemic concerns, this year's much anticipated regatta was sailed in Elizabeth Harbor in George Town, Exuma, Bahamas from April 19-22.

Eighty-seven wooden sloops from the far-flung, 760-mile-long island chain of the Bahamas arrived to compete for prize money, trophies, bragging rights, and fun. Not to mention an adrenaline rush they won't soon forget!
