There were 12 cats that got off the line for the four day adventure up the Florida coast listed below.
Live tracking is available at
http://kws.kattack.com/GE…Display.aspx?FeedID=1234
I've found in the past that these tracks are kind of for "entertainment only" and not that accurate offshore, but right now Marspeed is in the lead moving at about 10 knots.
Who you rooting for? Does this make you want to try a race like this?

Wow, Marspeed has fallen back into the pack and the old standby Nacra 20 Royal Yellow has shot into the lead with Key Sailing on the hot Nacra Carbon 20 in second.

Looks like the tracker on the Marstrom 20 has stopped reporting. Hopefully that's temporary and we can see if the race develops between the M20 and the C20.

Respect to everyone who competed and congratulations to Kirk Newkirk and Tom Whitehurst of Team Key Sailing for edging out Team Marspeed with Bret Moss and John Casey by only 24 minutes after more than 21 hours of racing!
Does this race inspire you to try a long distance race?
