There will be no shortage of top-tier competition at the 2010 Miami Grand Prix. Racing sailors from across the country and around the world are setting their sights on Premiere Racing’s second South Florida event. Melges 32, Farr 40 and IRC boats will race in the sparkling ocean waters off beautiful South Beach March 4-7. Following a spectacular 10-race series in Key West last month, the competition moves to Miami, where some of the world’s best will vie for class championships and the combined Florida Grand Prix trophies. The Miami Grand Prix provides another opportunity for Farr 40 programs to fine tune crew work and boat speed in preparation for their April World Championship in the Dominican Republic’s Casa de Campo. Jim Richardson’s Barking Mad (Newport, RI) and Massimo Mezzaroma’s Nerone (Punta Ala, IT) will look to improve on their 2nd and 3rd place finishes at Key West Race Week. North America’s Riviera offers the ideal late winter getaway with warm sunshine, reliable ocean winds and world class restaurants and nightlife. Premiere Racing’s professional race management and top-tier competitors will produce four memorable days of racing. The entry deadline is February 19. Race Headquarters is at the Miami Beach Marina, the official site and exclusive marina. Mount Gay Rum is the official rum. The Avalon and South Seas Hotels are the Official Host Hotels. Shake-A-Leg Miami is the official charity (please visit: www.ShakeALegMiami.org).
