These activities are also attended by Bob Harvey, commodore of Key West Yacht Club, as well as managers and members of the Bradenton Yacht Club and Sarasota Yacht Club.

A month ago, Cuba hosted the Miami-Havana Regatta with the presence of 46 boats and 342 yachtsmen.

Cuba was a prohibited destination for American sailors since 1961, and now, after the restoration of diplomatic relations between Washington and Havana, these activities begin to consolidate.
