One hundred years of Bacardi

In 2027, Bacardi celebrates the 100th edition of the Bacardi Cup, the longest-running partnership in the history of sailing. What began in 1927 with 13 Star boats in Havana, Cuba moved to Miami in 1962 and now attracts a massive international field. The Bacardi Cup and the Bacardi Invitational Regatta, which had been on the same week, will be separated in 2027.

The Bacardi Winter Series hosts J/70 and Melges 24 fleets, with the Star Class competing at Bacardi Cup.
