The racing begins on Monday, March 6th with events scheduled daily through Saturday, March 11th. The event is dedicated to Tito Bacardi and his memory will be honored in several ways by the participants, the sailing community and the Bacardi family.

The Bacardi Cup is now part of an expanded event called BACARDI Miami Sailing Week Presented by EFG. This new Miami tradition will offer sailors from a variety of different classes the chance to compete in various regattas, all of which will be sponsored by BACARDI, Miami Sailing Week’s title sponsor. The Bacardi Cup traditions and format will not change and the regatta will be the crown jewel of the new format. The following classes gladly accepted BACARDI Miami Sailing Week’s invitation and will participate at the 2017 event: Viper 640, J/70, VX One, A-CAT and M32

The prestigious Coral Reef Yacht Club will continue to manage RC activities for the Bacardi Cup. CRYC member and past Race Committee Chair Mark Pincus will also serve as BMSW Regatta Chairman for the eighth year in a row. He will skillfully manage the race organization, judging and other logistical solutions with the support of Biscayne Bay Yacht Club, US Sailing Center and Shake a Leg. Regattas will be held on four different courses on Biscayne Bay with course #1 reserved exclusively for the Star Class.

Thanks to a larger number of participants we will have a dedicated Village area for sailors to socialize and enjoy their time off the water. There will also be an expanded Mid-week party and Awards ceremony Bacardi style!

The BACARDI Village will be set up for the first time at Regatta Park, where sailors will enjoy BACARDI Rum, food and music. One special art exhibit will be set up in CocoWalk along with a Music in the Park concert featuring Havoc 305 that will take place on Wed. 3/8 at Regatta Park.
