Conch Cup is a good, fun day on the water. Most sailors leave from the yacht club to go to the start line. Important: Make sure you get a tow from the club to the start line if you don't think you can make it in time for the start. It's a long way.

Take a paddle! You will need to use it under the bridges on the way to the start line where the wind dies and swings from every direction.



Get a chart. Pay attention to the depths. Some parts can be shallow.



Ask for local knowledge to make sure you know the way back to the club after going through Government Cut. It can be a little confusing.
