Dear Star Class Sailors,
 
The dates for the iconic 94^th Bacardi Cup have been finalized for 2021, as the world of Star Class sailing again descends on Miami, USA from 7-13 March.
 
We have all been affected differently by the COVID-19 pandemic over the past few months as 2020 has been a year of change and uncertainty for each of us. We are hopeful that next year will see more certainty and we want to give you a brief update about our plans for 2021.
 
As always, the much-loved Bacardi Cup is an event that belongs to you the sailors and we pride ourselves on delivering outstanding racing and great shore side fun. Our plan is that the event format for 2021 will remain the same as past years, although we are conscious we may need to adjust the management of boat park, shore side activities and social events as well as racing in accordance with legislation in place at the time. 
 
We are all looking forward to being out on the water again and the event team here in Miami is ready to welcome you back for the 94^th Bacardi Cup and Bacardi Invitational Regatta to enjoy what you have come to expect as one of the sport’s highlight regattas. The provisional event schedule is:
