Past Celebrity Invitational Tacticians

Over the past 20 years, the list of sailors who have generously contributed their time to serve as Celebrity Tacticians reads like a Who’s Who of the sailing world. The roster is packed with America’s Cup winners, Olympic medalists, national and world champions from the world’s most competitive classes, and Sailing Hall of Famers. 

We are grateful for their contribution to Nantucket Race Week and Nantucket Community Sailing. Their presence is what had bestowed such prestige on the Celebrity Invitational Regatta, and resulting in some of the most competitive racing Nantucket has ever witnessed.
