Figawi is an annual charity event and regatta in Massachusetts, from Hyannis to Nantucket on Memorial Day weekend. With humble beginnings the race has taken on legendary status, with sailors coming from across New England and the world. While highly competitive, and successful at raising hundreds of thousands for local charities, Figawi has another reputation — as an informal “party regatta.”
The rebranding of Figawi looks to shed the party aesthetic, but still embrace it’s fun and folkloric New England maritime history.
