Organized by NAASA, the F-18 fleet.
This is a distance race in the spirit of bigger beach-cat endurance races like the Tybee 500 and Worrell 1000.
The format is two "legs," one Saturday and one Sunday, with the results added together to determine overall finish times. The "legs" are really distance courses in their own right in Narragansett Bay, both starting and ending in Newport, RI.
