Washington's Birthday Regatta back at Barnacle
Washington’s Birthday Regatta will be back for it's 14th revival next month just off shore of The Barnacle (3485 Main Highway). The regatta, first organized in 1887 by Commodore Ralph Munroe, founder of the Biscayne Bay Yacht Club and Coconut Grove pioneer, will be held at noon on Saturday, February 21.
The race is open to traditional-style sailboats (e.g. mudhens, seapearls, bullseyes, sharpies, Bahama dinghies, cat boats, gaff-rigs, etc.). It is a great spectator event by land or sea. An awards ceremony and chowder party for participants and their families follows the race at 5:30 pm at the park.
The entry fee is a suggested donation of $15 per boat, made payable to The Barnacle Society. To request an entry packet or additional information, call the park office at 305-442-6866.
