In 1972 a few friends began a challenge to see who could get from Hyannis harbor to Nantucket harbor the quickest on their sailboats. The regatta was born. There was much fog during this race, so if you are creative you can figure out where the name Figawi came from. Figawi now is regarded as a premier sailing event and attracts entrants from all over the United States. Our mission is to provide a competitive and fun regatta, support youth sailing through our High School Sailing Invitational, and give back to the Cape Cod and Nantucket communities through our charity.
