The HB100 is no more. Instead, Catamarans with dagger boards and spinnakers from 18 to 22 feet are invited to the inaugural, annual “Keys 100 Reef Run”, April 25 – 26, 2009, with a very flexible format taking advantage of existing winds. Basically the race will be between Islamorada and Marathon, ocean side in the Florida Keys, using Reef Marks as turning marks. The beauty of this race will be to stay in one place, the Islander Resort, and sail to take best advantage of conditions. The course will be designed to run over 100 kilometers in a two day format. One of many course lay outs will be used to accommodate wind conditions. Start and finish will always involve the Islander resort and the park at Marathon. Then boats can be stored; available for practice and tune ups; from the finish of the Miami – Key Largo race until the Tybee 500. Families will get to stay in one location while sailors compete for awards and prizes. A planned cookout at Marathon will always be included. Keep a lookout here for a NOR to be published soon.
