After a week of intensely close racing, Steve Rigby’s chartered J/122 El Ocaso, claimed Antigua Sailing Week’s most coveted prize, the Lord Nelson Trophy.
This recognises the CSA Racing 2, 3 or 4 class winner with the fastest overall corrected times calculated on a time-on-distance basis.
El Ocaso is now one of a select group of only three boats that have won the Lord Nelson Trophy on three occasions.
Sir Peter Harrison’s Farr 115 Sojana won in 2011, 2018 and 2019, while Larry Ellison’s Farr designed Maxi Sayonara was victorious in 1997, 1998 and 2000. In addition, an earlier El Ocaso, a J/120, won the trophy back in 2012.
