The 2027 St. Thomas International Regatta (STIR) takes place from April 8-11, 2027, instead of the customary Easter weekend. At the same time, recognizing one of the sport’s fastest-growing disciplines, STIR is adding open wing foiling to its existing slate of classes. New too is the Three Sheets Distance Race & Rally division, which moves this popular 100-nautical-mile St. John-St. Croix-St. Thomas-based regatta under the STIR umbrella.
The Notice of Race (NOR) and online registration open in fall. For the latest updates and entry information, visit www.stthomasinternationalregatta.com
Chartering makes it especially easy to fly in, jump on a race-ready yacht, and sail. Options include:
The St. Thomas Sailing Center (STSC) (stthomassailingcenter.com/racing/st-thomas-international-regatta) has IC24s, Sunfish, and Hobie Waves available for race charter for STIR 2027.
