Since U.S. President Obama declared in late 2014 that he would end the embargo against Cuba, relations between the two countries have relaxed: Among the signs of this détente and that the infamous “Bloqueo” is history is a regatta that is driving Americans crazy, the Conch Republic Cup, or an event on the Key West (Florida, or rather, Republica de la Concha) axis, which has been a self-proclaimed independent republic since 1982. It is now a tourist attraction and we laugh about it), Varadero and Havana, capital of the mythical island ruled by Fidel’s brother Raul Castro.
It is a true 13-day sailing-vacation, from Jan. 22 to Feb. 3 (with crossings and regattas between buoys in Cuban waters, a wonderful opportunity to experience one of the most fascinating Caribbean islands), in which you can also participate: add your name and resume to the “Crew board“, the space dedicated to seeking/off boarding and cross your fingers!
CONCH REPLUBLIC CUP? ONE OF MANY
This is not the only Caribbean event within your reach: we told you about it earlier, there is a really full calendar from January onward. For each regatta you will be able to find both a series of charters and the seek/off boarding area.

RORC 600 CARIBBEAN
(February 20-24, 2017. Antigua)
One of the must-attend events for those who love to race in the Caribbean. The route, which varies from year to year, is a real training ground for tacticians, as it is a continuous zig zag between beautiful islands. In addition, you can meet great sailors live and see superboats in action.
