2012 Wrecker's Cup Race Series!!!
No protests, no pageantry, just race with us
- or against us!
The final race of the 2012 Schooner Wharf
Bar Wrecker's Cup Race Series is here, when captains, crews and passengers
race the seven miles to Sand Key on an annual quest for bragging rights on
this small island. The "day of wreckoning" is Sunday, April 29th, at 1:00 p.m. when ships in five different classes will reenact the times in Key West history when wreckers would race to a disabled ship, rescue the crew and then lay claim to the cargo. The five classes for the race series are: Classic, Schooner, Multi-hull, Monohull over 30, Monohull under 30 feet.
Join your friends, captains and mates for a
day of rivalry on the high seas. Local and visiting yachtsman are all
welcome to join the fun. |

rhythms of Marty Stonely and George Victory.

| But the
crews and captains are not the only ones who can participate in the
fun. The race is a great way for captains to fill their charter boats
for an afternoon sail. As visitors to the island get to take part in a
local adventure, spectators can watch the madness from Schooner Wharf
Bar while getting an up-close look at traditional and majestic wooden
boats. For more information, do not hesitate to call (305) 292-9520.
