My favorite Buoy’s race is the Jetty Park Ocean Regatta put on by Fleet 45 of Cocoa/Cocoa Beach, Florida.
They consistently put on a well-planned and executed event. There is always plenty of beer and wings after the days racing. The conditions on the water are always a mixed bag, from light to moderate not favoring any one boat or team. Plus it's on the open ocean, always a bonus.
A close second is the St. Augustine, FL Regatta. This race is also on the ocean and offers the same conditions.
My favorite distance race:
Key Largo Steeplechase.
This race consistently attracts the best sailing talent in the country. The course offers navigational as well as tactical challenges. You get a little bit of everything with this race. Plus, the FL Keys in the middle of winter is not a bad place to be.
