Testimonials to Race Week 2000 

"Can it get any better at the GMC Yukon Key West Race Week? Few sailing events can provide the setting found at GMC Yukon Key West Race Week (Jan. 17-21), and the new millennium's edition of this five-day regatta could hardly have been better."

 Southwinds Magazine February, 2000

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you and commend you on a brilliant job running Key West Race Week. You and your organization do a fantastic job from start to finish... It was great fun even though we came up a bit short. In any event, I've already booked for next year."

"Always a welcome break from the northern winter, Key West Race Week 2000 turned up the heat to produce a vintage regatta. For the Racers, here for just one week, nothing is lacking... To top it all, the race management both ashore and afloat is simply impeccable."

"After nine annual pilgrimages to Key West, I'm continually amazed by the quality of the GMC Yukon Yachting Key West event. Peter Craig and his gang at Premiere Racing take notes after each event and come back the following year with both barrels loaded. The race committee is second to none."

"Everywhere we go in the world, we always talk about the racing in Key West. It's our favorite event of the year. Sailing a Melges 24 in Key West is about as good as it gets. We know that the racing is going to be fantastic. The race committee is the most professional group you will find anywhere."

"Key West Race Week is a great place to come. The apres-sailing atmosphere is fantastic. Key West may be a small town but it comes alive during the week. It's high on my list of places to go."
