2017-18 SORC Islands in the Stream Notice of Series
The dates for the 2017-18 SORC Islands in the Stream Series
are set and the Notice of
Series is done, so make your plans now to pack your winter
with warm-water, tropical SORC action. The season starts off of South
Beach with the Nassau Cup Race hosted by the Coral Reef Yacht Club, Storm
Trysail Club, and Nassau Yacht Club, and managed by SORC, starting on Thursday,
November 9, 2017. As always, there will be match racing and post-race
festivities at the Nassau Yacht Club.
December’s race is the winter classic Wirth Munroe
Invitational Palm Beach Race, hosted by Biscayne Bay Yacht Club, the Storm
Trysail Club and the Sailfish Club of Palm Beach, and managed by SORC. The
Wirth Munroe Race, from Miami to Palm Beach, is always held on the first Friday
in December and always concluded with the best buffet dinner in racing, at the
Sailfish Club. The “Race to the Buffet” is not one to miss.
Kick the new year off right with a visit to Ft. Lauderdale and
a Tuesday night party at the Lauderdale Yacht Club prior to the Wednesday,
January 10, 2018 start of the Ft. Lauderdale to Key West Race, hosted by LYC
and the Storm Trysail Club and managed by the SORC. Spend a Thursday or
Friday afternoon in the sun at the SORC Duty Station at the upstairs patio bar
at Turtle Kraals, and enjoy the Mt. Gay Rum pour at the awards party at Kelly’s
Caribbean Bar and Grill on Friday night. Stick around on Saturday morning for
the return of the Conch Grinder Race, a fun foray onto the waters off of Key
West.
The 3rd Annual Miami to Cuba Race will start on Wednesday,
February 14, 2018, finish in Varadero, Cuba, and will once again serve as the
deciding race for the SORC Islands in the Stream Series. Details for the
race, hosted by Coral Reef Yacht Club and SORC, are being finalized and will be
announced shortly.
