About the event

The J/70 and Melges 24 Classes are all set to feature in this exciting line-up of racing in Miami this winter, kicking off with the Bacardi Invitational Winter Series, before the season finale at the renowned Bacardi Invitational Regatta on April, 2-4, 2027

Hosted between Shake-A-Leg-Miami and Coconut Grove Sailing Club, the first race weekend for the Bacardi Winter Series will be January 22-24, 2027 with the next face-off on February 19-21, 2027.

Post-race, the venerable Bacardi Rum brand, the locally-headquartered ‘king of hospitality’ which has sponsored the Bacardi Cup since its inception, will greet and host competitors each evening, with great food, music and plenty of Bacardi rum. The nightly parties make sure the fun continues long after the finish line, as teams and supporters are welcomed to unwind shore side and recount the day’s racing highs and lows.

The series will conclude with the Bacardi Cup Invitational Regatta on April 2–4, 2027, featuring racing for the J/70, Melges 24, VX One, and Snipe classes.
