There are just thirty-three teams entered in the 2025 edition to go sailing on the infamously light Tampa Bay. That’s nowhere close to the maximum sixty boats permitted where, in past years, the entry list was over-subscribed with a waiting list. The December 7-8 regatta was canceled due to extreme weather conditions, similar to what was experienced across the state of Florida for the Bacardi Winter Series in Miami, FL.
\nNevertheless, there is a highly competitive fleet of international teams sailing in this weekend’s event from January 11th to 12th, 2025.
\nSome of the teams that should factor at the top of the leaderboard include past winner Brian Keane’s SAVASANA from Marblehead, MA; Doug Rastello’s GOOD TO GO team from Newport Beach, CA; Laura Sigmond’s NORBOY from Chicago YC; Ian Hill’s SITELLA from Hampton YC; and Bruno Pasquinelli’s crew on STAMPEDE from Forth Worth, TX.
