Register for Regattas in The Abacos
Event dates: June 20–28, 2026
We’re excited to welcome sailors back to the turquoise waters of the Sea of Abaco for another unforgettable week of racing, cruising, and island celebrations. Below you’ll find everything you need to register, plan your route, and prepare for race week.
Registration Fees
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 to help offset 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 (payment received Apr 1st or after)
- Individual Race: $175
Race Classes of Regattas in The Abacos
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.
You can also register as a spectator boat to join in all the fun!
Cancellation & Transfer Policy
The registration fee is non-refundable if you're unable to attend. We understand that plans can change, and we strive to be as accommodating as possible while maintaining fairness for all participants and efficiently managing event logistics.
- Transfer to Another Skipper/Boat: Registrations may be transferred to another skipper or boat for the same year, provided we receive written notice at least 7 days before the event’s start date. If the registration tier or fee has increased for the new skipper/boat, the difference in cost must be paid at the time of transfer.
- No Show, No Credit: If no notice is given and you do not attend, the registration fee will be forfeited.
