The 35th Annual Ft. Lauderdale - Key West race is shaping up to be a grand prix doozy! Hap Fauth’s R/P 69 “Belle Mente” and Richard Oland’s R/P 52 “Vela Veloce” are both hopefuls for a shot at the course record (10 hours, 24 minutes and 2 seconds) set in 2005 by another Reichel Pugh boat, the 81 foot “Carrera.” These two racehorses are among the 25+ boats signed up so far for this 160nm sprint.
The race starts off the coast of Ft. Lauderdale in the early afternoon of January 13th. Competitors follow the coast of Florida southwest into the night, and with a good breeze, finish in the Key West channel at dawn.
For the first time ever in this race, land-based friends and family will be able follow the competitors online, using a complementary IonEarth Global Race Positioning, also well known for tracking competitors in the TransPac.
The Race Committee is accepting early entries through December 11th, 2009. The entry deadline is January 8, 2010.
