Just 90 miles from the coast of Key West is Havana, Cuba. It has been an elusive sailing destination since 1961 when the United States imposed an economic embargo against Cuba. Now for the first time the United States has begun to allow limited boat travel to Cuba. This will not be the first time the CRC has raced to Cuba but it will be the first time with government approval.
Our goal is to provide a world class format for racers to have a challenging race across the Gulf Stream to Cuba.
Key West and Havana have shared a long maritime connection. It has been a unique relationship not shared with the the rest of the US. We are positioning this race on the Jan 2016 calendar hoping to attract racers who have just completed Key West Race Week (KWRW) and racers on their way to the Caribbean racing season. It is an opportunity not to be missed!
Departure is scheduled for January 28, 2016 and the deadline to enter is December 1, 2015. Read more
