The 30 foot wide racer smashed the previously held multihull record of 13 hours 22 mins held by Brad Hallock in Surfing Safari in the 31th annual Fort Lauderdale to Key West Invitational Yacht Race by almost five hours. Stars and Stripes made the 160 mile trip in 8 hours and 31 mins. While co-skippers Steve and Scott Liebel waxed the fleet on elapsed time, they came in third on corrected behind Green Flash (Crowther/Calvert) and the winning boat Lightspeed (Lightspeed 32). Lightspeed which was skippered/owned by Hunt Stookey with famed sailor Randy Smythe riding along for good luck.
