Hampton, Va. -- Mariners are advised that the Caribbean 1500 will start in Hampton, Virginia and head eastward towards Thimble Shoal Channel and then out to sea. The event will be held on Nov. 7 from 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.
Mariners are requested to use caution and bare steerage when transiting the area.
The Caribbean 1500 is timed to begin soon after November 1 when most insurance companies set the end of the hurricane season. Hampton is the departure location to try to increase the odds of a safe and comfortable passage south for rally participants. The main fleet will finish in Nanny Cay, Tortola BVI, and the Bahamas Class will finish in Bluff House Marina, Green Turtle Cay, Abaco.
Over 1200 boats with 5000 ralliers aboard have met the challenge of the Caribbean 1500 since it started in 1990. Find out more at http://www.worldcruising.com/.
