5 All boats shall stay outside the Main Ship Channel unless
absolutely necessary when transiting to and from the race course.
The channel is narrow making safety an issue for Navy Vessels,
Cruise Ships and other vessels restricted due to draft. Boats shall
not cross just ahead of ships in the channel and are asked to
operate prudently while transiting in the vicinity of the channel.
Boats that do not abide by this instruction will be subject to
disqualification from the regatta.
6 The Skipper/Owner shall be responsible for the actions of his
or her crew and guests. The legal drinking age in Florida is 21.
Minors will not be served and proof of age will be required. In the
event of a serious breach of conduct, sportsmanship, destruction of
property, under age drinking, or failure to comply with the request
of any Race Officer, Committee Member or agent of race week, the
Skipper/Owner will be held responsible and the boat or competitor
may be subject to expulsion from the regatta by the Event Director.
7 Any commercial or editorial reference to this event must use
the regatta’s copyrighted name, which is ACURA KEY WEST 2006,
