The beautiful waters of the British Virgin Islands have always been attractive to yachtsmen. The establishment of several marinas throughout the territory saw the advent of racing. 

The BVI Spring Regatta began in 1971 and eventually led to the formation of the BVI Yacht Club. From there, a Yachting federation emerged, which eventually gained membership in the International Yacht Racing Union in 1982. Yachtsmen were on the BVI's first Olympic Games team in Los Angeles in 1984.
