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.

copyrighted name, which is ACURA KEY WEST 2007, presented by
Nautica. Any commercial video of the event, including web
site productions, must be licensed by Premiere Racing.
7 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.
