About
The Champ of Champions is the ultimate closing act of Anguilla's boat racing season. The island's finest racing boats set off from Sandy Ground for the "around the island" race — accompanied by a flotilla of spectator boats the whole way. Back on the beach, the crowd builds as the boats approach. When they round the point into Road Bay, the whole shoreline erupts. There's nothing quite like it.
