For the offshore racing on the weekend of August 10, 11, 12, there will be 3 circles comprised of 18 sections of racers. Each section’s winners will receive prizes and brag flags and one offshore boat will be awarded the perpetual Verve Cup trophy, which dates back to 1893.
Distance
The distance race will feature 4 handicapped sections and the winner will receive the coveted 8 Mile BuoyTrophy
