Miami center of sailing this week - Outdoors - MiamiHerald.com: " . . . The marquee event of sailing week is the Bacardi Cup on Monday through Saturday — one of the longest-running sporting events in the western hemisphere now in its 87th year — featuring as many as 60 Star-class sailboats from 15 countries. The Star — sailing’s oldest Olympic class — will not compete in the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, but the venerable keelboat still draws some of the most competitive racers in the world. The two-person team with the lowest score at the conclusion of racing Saturday gets to drink rum from the silverTrofeo Bacardi. The Stars will be joined in the bay Thursday through Saturday by five other one-design classes: Audi Melges 20; J 70; Viper 640; Melges 24; and, new this year, VX One — a sport boat just launched in 2011. The social center for the festivities is Kennedy Park, but the event is co-hosted by the US Sailing Center; Coral Reef Yacht Club; Coconut Grove Sailing Club and Shake-A-Leg Miami." More on the Bacardi Miami Sailing Week: http://www.miamisailingweek.com/ and http://www.yachtscoring.com/emenu.cfm?eID=915

Clark Hatches A Record Slayer | Sailing World: "WHAT’S LENGTH GOT TO DO WITH IT? In the case of Jim Clark’s new ocean racer under construction at Hodgson’s Boatyard in Boothbay Harbor, Maine, quite a lot, or so says skipper Ken Read. Ken Read’s eyes light up when talking about Jim Clark’s newest ocean-racer project like a child at Christmastime who’s just unwrapped a Red Rider BB gun. The guilty pleasure lies in the fact that this is no ordinary 100-footer (if one can be ordinary). This yacht is designed to be a full-on record-breaker. You name the race or passage—Transat, Transpac, Bermuda, Fastnet, Hobart, to name but five—and it’s likely a target on their project whiteboard. . . ."
