The winter plan for the 2019-2020 Islands in the Stream Series delivers a four race offshore schedule that mixes tradition and change.
The series will once again kick off with the Nassau Cup Ocean Race, starting on Thursday, November 14th, 2019. This is the 78th edition of the race which expects a good-sized fleet of IRC/ORC/PHRF boats along with Multihulls who will be racing under the MORCA rules.

The series then heads south for some island time in January with the Ft. Lauderdale to Key West Race on January 23, 2020. The tropics in January provide the perfect spot to unwind with the Conch Grinder Race, and to enjoy the treasures and pleasures of Key West before the awards party at First Flight Island Bar and Restaurant (formerly Kelly’s Caribbean).
