Florida 300 Updated Notice of Race has been published. Please read carefully and note the safety equipment, including Personal Locator Beacons (PLB's), required for each crew.
Also for those on the fence and want to "try out" distance racing on the Florida Coast or can't take the whole week. There are now TWO single leg events that can be entered. The Dogfight, raced from Vero Beach to Cocoa Beach, and the Space Coast Challenge raced from Cocoa Beach to Daytona Beach. These are two separate races so you can enter one or both to join the fun.

It sure would be great to get some of the Nacra 17 sailors and boats into the race this year. It seems we will have several classes represented; Nacra 20carbon, I20, F18, and open class so far. I believe the use of the schrs rating system will make the overall times so much closer to being true. This race promises to be a great and fun race with lots sponsorship, The Ocean Deck is rolling out the red carpet, along with the members of fleet 80.
Lots more to come, this is going to be epic this year!!
