Nantucket Race Week is an eight-day experience that marshals the entire Nantucket community together in a fun-filled week of regattas, awards ceremonies, and parties. The races provide sport for everyone from young dinghy sailors and families in the household knockabout to grand prix racers at the very top of their profession. The racing begins on Saturday, August 8, 2009 with events scheduled daily through Sunday, August 16, 2009. We are proud to announce that we are working with Sailors for the Sea to designate Nantucket Race Week as a Clean Regatta.
