“Come Hell or high water” was the phrase used by our first regatta chair, Brian Malone. This distance race is held in Hillsborough Bay, but don’t assume it is just an afternoon cruise. Test your navigation skills and plan to race even if the weather pipes up. This time of year is prone to fronts. In the internet age, most race decisions are made at the bar watching radar. You can plan to race this one to hone your heavy weather skills, so don’t shy away if there is a blow. Part of the DIYC BOTY Series. Limited breakfast menu will be available.

Like the traditions of the Morgan Invasion, the Tampa Bay Hospice Cup appeals to both cruisers and racers. In addition to the traditional Morgan Invasion fleets, the regatta also features open non-Morgan fleets for PHRF, and a “Just-for-Fun” casual fleet. All proceeds will benefit Tampa Bay area Hospice organizations, which offer comprehensive hospice and palliative care, caregiver education, individual and group counseling, spiritual support and many other programs to those it serves regardless of race, age, faith, diagnosis, or financial circumstances.
All boats, including Just For Fun Fleet: $125.00 tax-deductible donation to Tampa Bay Hospice Cup payable in RegattaNetwork plus sales tax, which includes one (1) Mount Gay red hat, one (1) t-shirt and drinks from our generous in-kind sponsors including Mount Gay Rum. Additional shirts ($35) and dinner tickets ($20) may be purchased through RegattaNetwork.
Grab a partner and join us for double-handed race. The goal is not to win but to still be talking after the race!

The race from Tampa to Naples (not Ft. Myers) takes place every year on Memorial Day weekend, marking the end of DIYC's Boat of the Year series and our regatta calendar. The thrill of this coastal race is matched only by the awards ceremony in Naples, which is more of a "banquet." Get your crew and safety gear ready and we'll see you at the starting line!
