Dear Friends,

I am pleased to welcome you to Miami for the 83rd Annual BACARDI Cup Star Class Regatta now part of the Inaugural BACARDI Miami Sailing Week. Each year the BACARDI Cup grows in popularity and prestige, attracting the world’s most accomplished sailors. I am extremely pleased to extend this opportunity to many other sailors from many other classes.

BACARDI U.S.A., Inc is proud to sponsor this weeklong event, which embodies class, sportsmanship and the spirit of racing. I think you will agree that there is no regatta quite like BACARDI Cup where anyone with a Star boat can compete against the best sailors in the world. I trust that the BACARDI Cup traditions will be embraced by all the new sailors making BACARDI Miami Sailing Week a memorable event on and off the water.

Since the BACARDI Cup was last sailed in Cuba in 1958, the Cup has been fortunate to call Coral Reef Yacht Club its home; thank you for your continuous support. Please join me in thanking the dedicated and enthusiastic volunteers at the Coral Reef Yacht Club, Biscayne Bay Yacht Club, Coconut Grove Sailing Club, US Sailing Center and Shake-A-Leg all of whom will be a key component in order to make our expanded event a success.

Thank you all for your passion for sailing, and your support of the BACARDI Cup and of BACARDI Miami Sailing Week.

Welcome and enjoy your time in Miami.

Salud,

A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the 83rd running of the historic and famed BACARDI Cup & to the Inaugural BACARDI Miami Sailing Week. When BACARDI agreed to the expansion I was delighted, but at the same time I felt a great sense of responsibility as I was put in charge of this noteworthy prestigious regatta. If it isn’t broken don’t fix it, therefore my team and I determined not to make any significant changes to the BACARDI Cup; Star competitors will therefore find the same regatta in the beautiful turquoise waters of Biscayne Bay. Some notable changes this year; we will see additional divisions participating in the Inaugural BACARDI Miami Sailing Week regatta. This opens up participation to the Audi Melges 20, the Melges 24, the J/24 and to the Viper 640 Class that will also race for their North American and Pan American championships.

Due to an increase in participation in both the BACARDI Cup and BACARDI Miami Sailing Week, we have orga-nized, in conjunction with the City of Miami, a hospitality village with a VIP hospitality suite that will be open to all participants from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Be sure not to miss the BACARDI Happy Hour from 4:00 to 6:00 daily. In addition to the Mid-Week and Awards parties, we have also organized a quite impressive art exhibit of fascinating sailboats seen through the lenses of renowned photographer Cory Silken.

The emphasis of this regatta is on the enjoyment of the sport we all are passionate about in the ideal conditions that can be found here in Miami and on safety on the racecourses. With this in mind I would like to once again welcome everyone and I sincerely hope you will enjoy your time spent with us.

Gabriele Pedone Event Chair

Fifty years ago a sail loft opened at the B-Street Pier in downtown San Diego, CA. The space was living-room size at 15 feet by 40. “It was a little dusty and dirty but big enough to build a Star-boat mainsail,” commented Lowell North, the owner. To-day, North Sails, the company this young Berkeley-trained engineer started in 1957, is the world’s premier sailmaker with 63 major lofts and 56 service, sales, and satellite lofts in 29 countries. North Sails got where it is today through an unwavering commitment to technical leadership and a service-oriented philosophy.America’s Cup winner BMW/Oracle Racing displayed a canting 223-foot wing sail whose height exceeds the wingspan of a Boeing 747. Her 3DL® headsails are built exclusively by North Sails.

attendance, speaking to the popularity both of the Star Class and of the BACARDI Cup on a worldwide stage.

As such, the BACARDI Cup is quickly gaining fame as one of the few sporting events (from any discipline) in which weekend enthusiasts have the valuable opportunity to compete head on against Olympic and World Champion athletes. The two member race teams, comprised of a skipper and one crew member, aboard 22 foot Olympic class Star sloops test their endurance and navi-gating skills in order to pursue the ultimate prize: The Trofeo BACARDI.

The “Tito” Cup, named for Jose “Tito” Argamasilla Bacardi, the great grandson of the BACARDI founder, was created by the Coral Reef Yacht Club to congratulate the BACARDI Cup winning crew. Mark Strube was the first crew to receive this award in 2005.

New ground continues to be explored in recent years. 2004 saw the Portuguese team of Afonso Domingos and Bernardo

In its 83rd year, the BACARDI Cup is an

iconic event cherished by many.

The time tested & now treasured tradition

of competition, skill, and heritage culmi-

nating in the Trofeo BACARDI can trace its

roots to 1920’s Havana, Cuba. The inaugural

BACARDI Cup was conceived in 1927 as a

three-day competition, with less than ten

boats taking part in the week’s Regattas. It

initially entered the sailing calendar as part

of the Cup of Cuba’s Mid-Winter Champion-

ship, then part of the Silver Star Series. From

its quiet, yet dignified beginnings, a strong

foundation soon took shape, which would

see the BACARDI Cup carry on 83 years into

the future to the present day.

Almost two decades after its inception, the

unrest of World War II would impose a five-

year sabbatical on the competition. Never-

theless, the BACARDI Cup persevered and

continued to be held in Havana until 1957,

when political unrest forced international

sailing out of Cuba altogether. In 1962,

the BACARDI Cup would once again return, moving from Havana to find a new home at the renowned Coral Reef Yacht Club in Coconut Grove, Miami. Miami Native James “Ding” Schoonmaker, and Frank Zagarino are credited with making the transition suc-cessful. Ding, who won his first BACARDI Cup in Havana at the age of 19, would go on to become World Champion and a seven-time BACARDI Cup winner.

Long after its roots were established in Miami, the BACARDI Cup has grown into a prestigious international sailing showdown with 200 world-class sailors representing 23 different countries all converging to take part in the grand tradition of competition and camaraderie first evidenced by the regatta’s beginnings. The regatta is now a key event, followed by thousands of sailing enthusiasts from around the world as they watch some of the world’s finest sailors compete for the honor and pride that comes with win-ning this legendary cup. World Champions and Olympic Medalists continue to be in

repeated the feat in 2008. 2006 BACARDI

Cup winners John Dane and son-in-law Austin

the United States in the 2008 Olympics.

Dane, 55 at the time, was also the first

Master sailor to ever win the BACARDI Cup.

In keeping with its international expansion,

teams from China and Croatia competed in

the 2007 BACARDI Cup for the first time.

In 2008, teams from Hungary and Russia

teams from 24 other nations. In fact, 2008

first occasion to see almost three quarters

INAUGURAL/ BACARDI® MIAMI SAILING WEEK

THE FIRST ANNUAL BACARDI MIAMI SAILING WEEK MARKS THE BEGINNING OF A NEW SAILING TRADITION IN THE SPIRIT OF THE HISTORIC BACARDI CUP. PARTICIPANTS AND SPECTATORS ALIKE CAN LOOK FORWARD TO A FUN FILLED SIX-DAY EXPERIENCE PACKED WITH HISTORY, PARTIES, AWARDS CEREMONIES, AND HIGH QUALITY ART, AS WELL AS SOME OF THE MOST COMPETITIVE REGATTAS IN THE AMERICAN CONTINENT.

The 83rd running of the BACARDI Cup and its Star Class will be the feature event of the weeklong regattas. In addition, the 2010 BMSW will offer competitors from a variety of different one-design classes the opportunity to compete during this new multi-class event: Melges 20, Melges 24, J/24 and the Viper 640 sailors will all take part in the competitions, bringing a considerable excitement factor to BMSW in conjunction with their 2010 North American and Pan American Championships. The weeklong competition will kick off BMSW March 8th, 2010, with racing concluding on Saturday March 13th. The festivities will culminate with the final awards presentation, which will take place Saturday night at Peacock Park in Coconut Grove.

A number of local sailing organizations will kindly put forth a collaborative effort to make this event possible. The renowned Coral Reef Yacht Club will continue to be the Organizing Authority for the Star Class and will coordinate on-water activities in collaboration with Biscayne Bay Yacht Club and Coconut Grove Sailing Club.

The U.S. Sailing Center and Shake-A-Leg Miami will also support the event. Regattas will be held on three different courses located on Biscayne Bay.

Owing to the increased scale of the event, special emphasis has been placed on social events throughout the week. As such, the hospitality village will be a welcome component of BMSW; housing daily activities, cocktail and VIP areas, and an inspiring art show featuring the nautical photography of Cory Silken. The event’s venues and scheduled activities have been designed so that sailors will enjoy their time spent in Miami both on and off the beautiful waters of Biscayne Bay. As many participants travel considerable distances, often with their loved ones to attend, BMSW aims to offer lasting memories. With its combination of high-class sailing talent, Miami’s renowned hospitality, plenty of rum, sunshine and great camaraderie in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, Miami Sailing Week and the BACARDI Cup are certainly par with the Nation’s sailing events.

it is an incredible boat to sail. Star Class boats work for the club racer as well as the international champion. The uniqueness of this Class is its depth and breadth; the Star has a worldwide reach with over 170 fleets and thousands of sailors. The ISCYRA truly is international with Class Officers at the world, continental, district and fleet levels. An international Governing Committee com-prised of sailors from Europe, North and South America and Australia set Class policy, which is carried out, by an Administrative Committee and the Central Office.

The Star has evolved into the consummate craft for all ranges of competition and per-formance sailing: its equipment and rig is simple enough for the novice, yet versatile enough for those on the forefront of sailing. It’s large, powerful sail-plan, combined with a sleek hull and light weight, propel the boat in the faintest of airs, while the flexible spar can be tuned to “de-power” when the breeze kicks up. The large main is infinitely adjust-able, allowing the sailor to completely control the driving surface of the sail. Stars today are generally constructed of fiberglass, with positive flotation and an integrated keel. The design, sails and equipment of the Star are governed by stringent class rules, created to improve competition based on skill and control cost. This has also served to help the longevity of the design, keeping older boats competitive through careful evolution.

Stars are generally “dry-sailed”, that is, stored on their trailers when not in use, and with a total weight around 1500 lbs, can easily be towed from place to place.

Many of the world’s top sailors past and present have been involved in the Star Class. Its list of former World Champions reads like who’s who of yachting: top sailors such as Colin Beashel, John Kostecki, Mats Johansson, Paul Cayard, Peter Bromby, Ross MacDonald, Ding Schoonmaker, Rod Davis and Mark Reynolds are also involved in the Star Class. But the class is made up of a variety of sailors of all ages and skill levels. One race on a Star has hooked some sail-ors for life: they’ll tell you: it’s a thrill. The

The Star story began in 1910 with Commo-

dore “Pop” Corry’s dream of a bigger, more

comfortable and drier “Bug”, a 17-foot keel-

boat popular at the time. Francis Sweisguth’s

design of the Star turned that dream into

a reality. In May of 1911, the first five Star

races took place on Long Island Sound, and

the Star class has been sailing ever since.

Sweisguth’s hull design was by all means

genius; it has withstood the test of time

and the application of new technology to

remain at the forefront international regat-

tas. It is the oldest Olympic Class, having

first been used at the 1932 Los Angeles

games, and is still at the heart of Olympic

competition today.

Supported by a worldwide association, the

Star as a class is one of the best organized

in sailing, with over 7,500 yachts built over

its 80-year history and 2000-plus actively

racing today. The Star is one of the most

prolific keelboats in the world for a reason:

Star World Championship continues to be recognized as one of the most cherished prizes in sailing. On top of that, the Star has been raced in every Olympics but one since 1932. From newest novice to World Champion, the Star Class offers much to enthusiasts. At every step, there are new sights, new experiences and friendships; old ones renewed and new ones made.

The relationship between the Star Class and the BACARDI Cup dates back to the first annual running of the regatta in 1927 in Havana, where five different star boats formed the American team. It can be said that from its formation, the regatta has never been short on excitement:

“…the teamracewas the last raceof the

week…TheU.S.teamwonbyascoreofthirty-

ninetofifteen,but theentire teamalmost

fouledout.All fiveU.S.boats reached the

Late Commodore George W. Elder.

Because the BACARDI Cup was run as a competition between nations at the time, and the U.S. Star team numbered five entries, a contest was devised to determine the Cup’s keeper. That first year, each boat drew lots, and determined Bill Inslee as the keeper of the Cup, with the rest receiving a pair of fine binoculars, in a leather case, surmounted with the crest of Cuba in solid gold.

Throughout the years, the BACARDI Cup has survived as a flagship regatta for the Star Class, outliving both a World War and politi-

is extremely proud to have been associ-ated with Bacardi for over 80 years, and is very excited to be a part of the expanded Miami Sailing Week in 2010. We look forward to continuing and expanding our relation-ship with Bacardi for many years to come.

cal turmoil in Cuba. In the present day, the BACARDI Cup is a staple of the Star Sailing Circuit, with entries often exceeding 100 boats representing up to 30 different nations.

Although many aspects of the boats and the competition have evolved to keep up with modern times, the spirit of this legendary relationship remains intact. The Star Class

The Viper is remarkably simple to sail. It has

a light carbon mast which actively responds

to different wind strengths with three base

tuning settings. The layout is clean and ergo-

nomic with no unnecessary controls. Brad

Boston, defending Viper North American

champion and former Canadian Olympian

describes the boat “ Viper racing is fun and

exciting because the racing is so close. The

boats are straightforward to sail and very

fast, so it all comes down to the skill of the

sailors and the tactics”

The Viper Class has a combination of region-

al and national regatta circuits supported by

a strong foundation of club racing at the local

fleet level. The class has 14 active regional

fleets which the class expects will double

again over the next three years. Regional

circuits include Texas circuit, South East

Circuit and the North East Circuit. National

level circuits include: the Viper West Coast

Championship Circuit - 6 premier regattas

including Phoenix, San Diego, Long Beach,

and San Francisco, The Viper East Coast

Circuit – 5 regattas from Florida to Ontario.

The Class Association is now thrilled to

announce the EFG Bank Pan American

Viper Championships which consists of

three premier regattas in Miami, Kingston

Ontario and New York. The EFG Bank Pan

American Championships is an open inter-

national competition for Viper sailors. The

preliminary event will be staged at BACARDI

Miami Sailing Week. Competitors from Eu-

rope, the US, Bermuda, Turks and Caicos,

and Canada have already signed up. We

expect the number of participants to grow

as the circuit continues through the year with

a total participation in excess of 50 boats.

The Class Association & EFG International

expect BACARDI Miami Sailing Week to

remain the anchor event for the Pan-American

Championship Circuit in future years and for

the event to grow to encompass competitors

from all over the Americas and overseas.

The Viper Class in America is managed by

a Class Association that belongs to the

owners and crews of the Viper class. The

Boats are built by a Class appointed builder,

The Viper 640 is a high performance, three

person sport boat. The class is one of the

fastest growing one design classes in North

America, growing to over 125 boats in the

fleet in the first 3 years since the class was

re-launched in 2007. The class mandate was

to provide a fast and exciting smaller sport

boat, straightforward and easy to sail, that

was affordable and accessible to the North

American one design racing community.

The Viper is light, fast and has a clean,

simple and effective layout. The entire boat

weighs only 750lbs including a bulb keel that

weighs 275lbs. With a downwind sail area of

over 670 sq ft, the Viper is a rocket ship and

probably the fastest production one design

keel boat in its category. The hull design is

a leading edge, low freeboard, sport boat

shape with an aggressive flare amidships

and pronounced rocker that provides high

initial stability and distinctive “bow up” sleigh

rides downwind. It is designed to plane!

In 1992, success for Melges was at an all time high. The America’s Cup Challenge donned a high-tech look and a high perfor-mance attitude. In a boat designed in part by Reichel-Pugh, Buddy Melges captured the America’s Cup title alongside Bill Koch. Their campaign symbolized the last successful defense of the Cup by an American team.

The Melges 24 was designed by the same winning yacht design team that developed America 3 – Reichel-Pugh. This incredible sportboat takes advantage of high-tech engineering advancements, utilized at the America’s Cup level. With the development of the Melges 24, Melges Performance Sailboats set the standard in the perfor-mance sportboat category. Buddy’s sons Harry Melges III and Hans Melges continued the passion with the sport by providing the driving force behind the Melges 24 project. The success is evident with over 800 boats sailing in just 17 years of production. World Championships with over 120 boats on the start line and an a one-design class that is know for its organization and incredible sailing events.

In 2002, Harry Melges, III continued with his sailing success by winning the Melges 24 World Championship in Travemunde, Germany. Harry has a long list of Interna-tional, North American and National victories in sailing and iceboating. Under his leader-ship and passion for the sport the Melges Company maintains a course of progress that includes innovation & deep respect for the art of boat building. Delivering the best boats and making the customer feel special is the ultimate goal at Melges. The relationship does not end when you drive away though. Owning a Melges is a special experience for years and that is why the company thrives on repeat customers. Customer Service at Melges is not a department it is an attitude.

Two additional sportboats were added to the Melges line of performance sailboats in 2005 – the sporty Melges 17 and the supersonic racer, the Melges 32. The design skills of Reichel-Pugh, Melges’ knowledge and experience & their devotion to building

MELGES BOAT WORKS, INC. was founded by Harry C. Melges, Sr. in 1945. He became an instant leader in Scow boat design, produc-tion and delivery in the U.S. particularly in the Midwest. Harry, Sr. initially built boats out of wood. Branching out into race boat production delivering the best hulls, sails, spars and covers making sure his customers stayed on the competitive edge.

Melges is one of the most reputable, rec-ognized and respected family names in the sailing industry. The devotion, generosity,

perseverance and passion that surrounds

the name are undeniable. It will forever be a

legendary symbol of quality, excellence and

experience that is second-to-none.

Early on Harry Sr.’s son, Harry “Buddy” Mel-

ges, Jr. was involved in operating the family

boat building business. Over time, Buddy

established a passion for the sport of sail-

ing and gained an impressive collection of

championship titles and Olympic Medals. Of

course an America’s Cup victory in 1992.

strong one-design classes made these

classes instant successes as customers

longed for exciting boats in the above size

ranges. Melges now has the Melges 32,

Melges 24, Melges 17 and their 5 other

one-design scow classes.

Next up, the Audi Melges 20. The docks

clamored for a smaller “Melges Style” keel

boat that could be sailed with just three

people. A 20-foot boat with a big wide-open

cockpit that could give you room but also a

playground for youth sailors. An ideal boat

for starting out in the sport of sailing. Sail

with your family in the Melges 20. Or simply

tow it behind any vehicle to a Melges Event

and go full out. Reichel-Pugh and Melges again teamed up to design the 2009 Sailing World Boat of the Year – The Audi Melges 20 an instant success in the USA and Europe. The boat still in its early stages promises to be as big as or bigger than the Melges 24.

The 2009 / 2010 Audi Sailing Series started out in Miami for a three event Winter Series run out of the Coconut Grove Sailing Club. This relationship promises to be strong for years to coming allowing people to come south in the winter and race their Melges Boats. Then tour up the coasts and have major championships all across the USA. With class support from Audi, this venture

proves to be exciting and fun.

More than seven decades later Harry Melges,

Sr.’s legacy still survives. The Boat Works

is still family owned, operated and in the

very same spot that it opened – famous

Zenda, Wisconsin USA. Innovation is the

focus. Every boat is manufactured with care

and respect. Melges’ goal is to build better

boats, distribute the best racing products to

their scow and sportboat customers, provide

outstanding product support and service,

promote youth sailing as well as excel in

the area of performance sailing.

J24/ CLASS

in Stonington, CT. Having been a dinghy sailor

racing both 505s and 470s, the J/24 took

form over several half-hull models, inspired

by the planing hull shapes of dinghies at

the time. The result was nothing short of

revolutionary for the sailing industry. While

diamond-shaped water-planes, pinched bows

and sterns and masthead rigs were the norm

in the IOR Offshore Rule those days, the

J/24 sported a fractional rig, fin keel, flared

topsides and transom-hung rudder. The

debut in 1976 of the original one-off J/24

was nothing short of sensational, winning

virtually every race or regatta it entered,

often sailing alongside or beating 30+ foot

IOR designs boat-for-boat. By 1977, the first

J/24s were rolling off the assembly line

in Warren, RI and fleets were immediately

established across the U.S.- with J/24 Fleet

#1 starting on Lake Minnetonka, MN!

The J/24 quickly grew into the world’s largest

keelboat class for a number of reasons. One,

is its sparkling performance- it is easy-to-

handle sailing under main alone and a family

can sail it comfortably. It is affordable (today,

used boats go for $5,000). It has strict one-

design class rules and construction from a

sole source builder, ensuring that all boats

were coming from the same molds. Both

amateur competitors and sailmakers alike

flocked to the J/24 because it had great com-

petition, as evidenced by the Who’s Who that

sailed the first J/24 Midwinters in Key West.

For the first time, a remarkable cross-section

of prominent dinghy, collegiate, big boat and

Olympic sailors competed against one anoth-

er, including Scott Allen, Bob Barton, Gordy

Bowers, Vince Brun, Augie Diaz, Neal Fowler,

Rick Grajirena, John Kolius, Larry Leonard,

Today, the International J/24has more than

50,000 people sailing 5,300 boats in 150

fleets in 40 countries- it continues to be the

world’s largest one-design keelboat class

and is built in the U.S., Japan, Australia,

Argentina and Italy. BACARDI Rum has

been part of that tradition over time, having

sponsored various J/24 events since 1978,

including the J/24 World’s and multiple J/24

Midwinter Championships in Key West and

Miami to name a few.

It all started in 1975 when Rodney Johnstone

was seeking to enjoy a fun, performance boat

that he could go weekending with his family

Mark Ploch, Jim and Charlie Scott, Dave Ull-

man and Gary Weismann. At one time, the

J/24 was the only offshore one design boat

approved by the ISAF. Racing has never been

as close or more fun - witness the continu-

ously large turnouts at virtually any J/24

regatta. Continental Championships often

average between 50 and 100 boats. And it’s

not just the big ones that get this turnout;

district and local events get impressive

turnouts, too. The International J/24

Class Association is constantly engaged

and produces a widely acclaimed Interna-

tional J/24 magazine; avidly read for its

reams of tuning information, boat handling

tips, go-fast ideas, race reports, and

cruising stories, it’s all about support

to the sailors and their activities. Today,

the J/24 class continues to enjoy strong

competition, great camaraderie amongst

the sailors and events that take place ev-

ery month around the world. It is possible

to sail every month in a J/24 year-round!

They continue to be sailed quite actively on

every major continent. It is both an honor

and a pleasure to be part of the Inaugural

BACARDI Miami Sailing Week, and everyone

is looking forward to a long-lasting relation-

ship; thank you Miami, it’s good to be back!

SOCIAL EVENTS/ INTRODUCTION

FROM DAY ONE, BACARDI MIAMI SAILING WEEK WAS DEVELOPED WITH YOUR ENTERTAINMENT IN MIND. IN ADDITION TO THE WORLD-CLASS RACING YOU WILL SOON COME TO EXPERIENCE, THIS WEEKLONG EVENT IS FILLED WITH GREAT ON-LAND ACTIVITIES FROM START TO FINISH. OUR GOAL IS TO CREATE A FUN AND INTERACTIVE ATMOSPHERE FOR SAILORS, THEIR FRIENDS AND FAMILY, AND SAILING ENTHUSIASTS IN COCONUT GROVE.

Whether you have come to fulfill hopes of trophies and glory, or simply to partake as a spectator, rest assured you will walk away with a smile and a deep appreciation for the beauty of our sport.

Our mission will become clear the minute you step into our Hospitality Village conveniently located in the heart of the waterfront. For our sailors the social experience will commence here, at registration, with a complimentary welcome cocktail which will allow you to join your fellow class competitors, and set the tone for the competi-tions to follow.

The focal gathering point throughout the week, our Hospitality Vil-lage, will hold a variety of exciting activities for both competitors and the spectators alike. Whether you are a participant looking for the latest addition to your sailing wardrobe at the SLAM store, a youngling ready to give the art of knot-making a first shot, or a local art aficionado coming to experience Cory Silken’s grand photography, the Village is sure to become the highlight of your stay.

Adjacent to the Hospitality Village, visitors are invited to immerse themselves into the photogenic world of sailing by strolling through the Color of Wind exhibition by famed marine photographer Cory Silken, held inside of the north hall of the expo center. Admission to the gallery is complimentary to participants and the general public, and will surely satisfy even the most demanding of tastes. A preview

of the exhibit will be offered to those participating in Shake-A-Leg Miami’s Community Bay Day on Sunday, March 7th, to be followed by an on-water hands on sailing session. The exhibit will officially open later that evening with a cocktail event offered by BACARDI.

The fun carries on outside of the Village area, as BACARDI Miami Sailing Week and the Coconut Grove Sailing Club host the Mid-Week party on Wednesday. The party will follow daily prize giving and offer music, hors d’oeuvres and a BACARDI bar.

Saturday night will see the most anticipated event of the week, as the overall awards party reveals the weeks’ victors at Peacock Park on the Coconut Grove bay front. The party will also feature music, cocktails, dinner and a slide-show projection of the week’s notable pictures.

No opportunity to socialize will be spared in between parties either, thanks to BACARDI U.S.A. and their daily happy hours, bar hopping events, and BACARDI Belief rum-tasting seminars hosted by Brand Master Apprentice Juan Coronado.

Without further adieu, we hope you will find the first-annual BACARDI Miami Sailing Week to be unlike any other regatta available. We are honored you have chosen to join us as we christen this new Miami tradition. Please remember take full advantage of the exciting offer-ings on our schedule, and get ready to have the regatta of your life!
