Actually it's not that bad depending on tides and breeze. The coral heads are out at the reef 1.25 miles out. If all sailors want to do a deep water start I have the vessels to set a start line and we can put rick out on the boat to do a start sequence. I sail my 6.0 without much problem at all. The problem flat is out from the Cheeca lodge, 3 blocks south. So the place you want to be careful of is at the finish. And there we can set a mark out 1 mile or so from the dock and finish when the you cross between the dock and the mark.
