Owing to the disastrous damage that Abaco suffered from Hurricane Dorian, Regatta Time in Abaco, must be cancelled for this year. The RTIA committee members, like others in the central Abaco area, are working to reconstruct their businesses and personal lives. The massive destruction caused by Hurricane Dorian will take years to overcome.
We would emphasize that while the Marsh Harbour commercial center was hit the hardest, the offshore cays are returning to previous levels of activity although at less than their previous five-star service.
Individuals wishing to visit Abaco either by boat or air are welcome and will find acceptable accommodations in the cays. However, planning an organized event for this summer is beyond our present capabilities.
We thank all those who participated in past years, both sailors and those who followed the activities at our shore facilities. As Abaco recovers, activities for our visitors will be planned and Abaco’s reputation as the sailing capital of The Bahamas will continue.
On behalf of the RTIA committee
