It is only 44 miles to Bimini, and it has been looked at as a race for beach cats. Already have been races for larger boats, lot of them.

Weather can be a problem. If you are dealing with a strong NE wind which is bucking against a 3.5 knot Gulf Stream, you end up with 12 foot square waves, which will rip apart smaller boats.

I ran trips to the Bahamas for 10 years and would not venture out in that stuff with a 67' ketch, with twin diesels.
