Washington's Birthday Regatta
The 13th annual revival of the Washington’s Birthday Regatta takes place behind The Barnacle Historic State Park (3485 Main Highway). The Skipper's meeting is at 10:30 am and the race starts at noon, rain or shine on Saturday, February 23, 2008.
The regatta, first organized in 1887 by Commodore Ralph Munroe, founder of the Biscayne Bay Yacht Club and a Coconut Grove pioneer, is open to traditional-style sailboats (e.g. mudhens, seapearls, bullseyes, sharpies, Bahama dinghies, cat boats, gaff-rigs, etc.).
This is a great spectator event by land or sea. The awards ceremony follows the race at 4:30 pm at the park.
The entry fee is a suggested donation of $10 per boat, made payable to The Barnacle Society. To request an entry packet or additional information, call the park office at 305-442-6866.
