The reputation and allure of Acura Key West Race Week is second to none, and if the 20th running of this annual mid-winter event was any indication, sailors should already be booking flights for 2008. The weather was brochure-like, and while winds were a little light (8-12) they were never threatening the aggressive nine race schedule set out by the event organizer, Premiere-Racing. J Boat owners came in force, representing a whopping 30% of all the participants. J Boats hosted nightly parties with video action from the J/80, J/105, J/109, J/120 and J/92s fleets. By week’s end, several new midwinter champions were crowned. Complete write-up here.
