With not enough sponsorship backing to defray the cost, the OPA Bimini race is out, https://speedonthewater.com/new-boat...ls-bimini-race.

It was definitely an awesome experience last year standing in the water watching them go by.

Too Bad, that would be a cool event to see.

Its hard enough to race in the USA. Leaving the USA is hard on teams in terms of insurance, passports, hauler, registrations and titles, pre delivering the boat, costly flights, extra time off work, hard on crew members, limited parts if you break testing, local medical, cost $$$$, extra flights to get boat back and expensive lodging. And of course your whole family wants to go to that race lol. Yes it has been done but the logistics and cost for all involved is extremely high. I applaud the efforts to all that have tried to make this happen. As always it all about the money and ROI

It really doesn't need to be this complicated...keep it simple and race from miami to bimini to miami.

Wouldn't that be called offshore racing ?

They wouldn't make it out of government cut on windy day.
