Any sailboat 14 feet or larger is welcome. Whehter you sail a production boat or an experimental craft, there is a class and competition for everyone. The race begins just south of Rickenbacker Causeway at 8AM and ends at the north mouth of Jewfish Creek. You can sail any course you like. Once in Key Largo, there will be a food fair at the Gilbert's Family Paradise Island at the Jewfish Creek Bridge with a cash bar, live band, party and raffle.
Trophies are three deep in each class.
There are no chase boats, so please be prepared to fend for yourself. Boats with auxiliary power may use their engines to safely navigate a difficult channel, but it may not serve to better your position. There will be a beer party and registration between 6PM and 9PM and a skippers meeting at 9PM on Friday night at Rick s Place Resort Motel. Feel free to ask questions of veteran sailors about the course. If you are retiring from the race or broken down, you must call this number right away.
