I believe the first "worrell" went North to South (from VA to FL), but I don't know about the first "official" race...


Si Senor. One boat, Va. Beach to Ft. Liquordale with one hurricane in between, if I recall correctly. They flipped it the following year to take advantage of the prevailing winds.
