Register for Regattas in The Abacos

---

Participating in RITA takes commitment — from preparing your vessel to planning the crossing, provisioning your crew, and covering cruising permit and travel costs. We understand what it takes to make the trip.

That’s why we offer early registration incentives each year to help offset some of those upfront expenses and encourage captains to start planning early. 

Our goal is to keep the tradition accessible while showing appreciation for the loyal skippers and crews who return to the Abacos year after year — and to welcome new boats looking to experience one of the most enjoyable regatta series in the islands.

Register by March 31 to secure the current discounted entry rate.

• Early Registration: $250 (special rate through Feb 28th)
• "Not Last" Registration: $350 (special rate through Mar 31st)
• Standard Registration: $500
• Individual Race: $175

Please note that due to limitations with the local banking systems, we are unable to accept credit card payments at this time. For participants registering from the United States or abroad, payment must be made via wire transfer, international money order, or cash via Zelle.

To take advantage of the early registration rate of $250, payment must be received in full by March 1st. After this date, the registration fee increases to $500. In-person payment will be accepted at the Skipper’s Meeting on June 20th.

Race classes include Multihull, Spinnaker, Non-Spinnaker, and Mother Tub.   

The Mother Tub class is for boats equipped for cruising that do not usually race competitively. No spinnakers or other specialty sails are allowed, and handicaps assigned by the Race Committee may be adjusted from race to race to afford all Mother Tub yachts an equal opportunity to win.
