The 2007 Pineapple Cup Montego Bay Race, or "Mo Bay" as it is fondly known, begins Friday, February 16. The biennial competition, jointly hosted by the Storm Trysail Club and the Lauderdale and Montego Bay Yacht Clubs, runs 811 nautical miles to Montego Bay, Jamaica from Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

The largest of the 20 boats registered in two IRC classes and one PHRF class is Stephan Reith's Bon Bon, a Reichel/Pugh 81. The smallest is another Reichel/Pugh, Doug Mitchell's 30-foot The Cone of Silence. Also entered is Tom Hill's Titan 12, the 2005 course record holder (2 days 10 hrs, 24 min, 42secs).

An interactive tracking map will be posted on the race website, www.montegobayrace.com . It will show the daily positions of all boats reporting their noon positions to the Montego Bay Race Committee.
