CORAL REEF YACHT CLUB
Founded in 1955, the Coral Reef Yacht Club is said to be one of the most prestigious yacht clubs in South Florida and the nation. Located in the Coconut Grove section of Miami on the western shore of Biscayne Bay adjacent to Dinner Key, it is considered to be “home” for many sailors that either live or sail in Miami. As it has happened for the past 50 years, the 85th edition of the BACARDI Cup will be hosted by the CRYC; the club will map out the Star course and logistically support the Viper 640 and the J/80 classes. We would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to Commodore Stephen Moynahan and to the Club members and volunteers. A special thank you to Mark Pincus, whose valuable help made this event possible. Founded in 1955 by an enthusiastic group of sailors in Coconut Grove, CRYC has turned over the years into a pillar for the sailing community in South Florida and in the United States.
