More SPOT tracking – Florida’s Keys 100
April 24th, 2009
The Keys 100 Reef Run will start Saturday morning April 25, 2009 from the Islander Resort in Islamorada, Florida and finish at Smathers Beach in Key West, Florida. This race replaces the Hogsbreath race of years past. Several boats are already in position at the resort, to start on this forecasted 100km (80 mile) sled ride to Key West. Live tracking on the internet will be provided by TopoFusion.com for teams equipped with SPOT Satellite Messaging Units.

The race is for two person crewed spinnaker equipped catamarans up to 22 feet. Awards for the Keys 100 and 2008 Endurance Series will be made at the Grand Key Doubletree Resort by the pool deck at 7:00pm.
Sponsors will be the Islander Water Sports and the Tybee Island Sailing Association. The race is the weekend after the popular Miami-Key Largo and would also be a great practice race for the Tybee 500.
