Ocean Cup - June 1-4 - Hosted by Sailfish Marina - Palm Beach to West End and Back
For those who missed this press release -
OCEAN CUP® Partners with Sailfish Marina Resort
Official Host Venue of Palm Beach to West End, Bahamas and Back
Sailfish Marina Resort, official host venue for this year’s Ocean Cup - Gateway Marathon, is rolling out the red carpet planning an action-packed, public welcomed, weekend starting June 1 thru Sunday, June 4th. Activities at the resort are geared around the 128-mile APBA/UIM Palm Beach to West End, Bahamas and Back world speed record attempts taking place on Saturday, June 3rd.
“This is perfect! Being hosted by a world class resort is exactly how a world class record attempt should be presented” says Ocean Cup’s General Manager, Janet Wilson. “With Sailfish Marina Resort onboard, we will be producing a world class event. If you’re interested in a true ocean race, this will be the premiere event on the east coast.”
Ocean Cup’s registered competitors will be pulling into the north lot of Sailfish Marina Resort Thursday June 1st providing the first opportunity for the public to check out the race boats at the Sunset Celebration Art Walk. Friday, the boat will be inspected, launched, and staged at the docks near the world famous Sailfish Marina Tiki Hut for a combined Happy Hour, Press Conference, and Meet & Greet, as well as live music from 5-9:00 so bring the kids and enter the 1st Annual Sailfish Ocean Cup scavenger hunt!
Saturday’s action packed world record schedule begins with a breakfast buffet at Sailfish’s Restaurant. Eight o’clock! Helmets on, comms checked, and the boats fire up to mill near Peanut Island to await their “green flag” moment in the rally style start. Watch live stream coverage of the race from the Sailfish Restaurant or Tiki Hut, or head down to the inlet and enjoy a coffee at Marriott’s High Tide Cafe to witness the start firsthand. And don’t go far because Race Director, Allen Bellinghausen, estimates “Depending on conditions, boats may be returning to cross the finish line in as little as ninety minutes”.
Back at the Sailfish Marina docks, checkered flags and champagne showers will greet the 128-mile open ocean finishers.
Four o’clock! The overall World Speed Records will be announced at the Tiki Hut’s awards ceremony to be followed by live music and a world class celebration!
Courtesy trolley’s will be running Friday and Saturday between Sailfish Marina Resort and an auxiliary parking lot. And on Saturday morning the trolley will stop near Marriott’s High Tide Café for live viewing of the start/finish located at the Palm Beach Inlet.
