Quantum Key West Race Week is an event that takes all year to arrange and there are many people to thank! Yet, it would never have been, if not for the gracious hosting of the lovely little island of Key West, Florida. This beautiful southern most point of the United States has been a perfect location for sailors. Providing world class racing for 25 years and counting.
We'll leave you with this beautiful parting shot taking by Allen Clark of PhotoBoat.com. Meanwhile, visit our listing of all the professional photographers who support Race Week to re-live the event from setting-up the venue, on-the-water action, and evening awards. These talented shooters have it covered and we appreciate their time and commitment to this event.
Congratulations!!!
It was a star-studded class of sailors from all over the country and world. Well done to all, whether or not you brought home the crystal. You came, you raced, did your best, improved your team-work, learned more about your boat, and by weeks end: are all better sailors for it. Can't think of another event in North America in the middle of Winter that provides all the conditions, with the level of competition to help any sailor bring it all to a higher level.
Here's hoping you achieve "Boat of the Day" in 2013!
Once again... THANK YOU!!!
