Supplies are limited, but the creativity is endless at Schooner Wharf Bar on Sunday, May 26 for the 22nd Annual Schooner Wharf Minimal Regatta.

Each 6 member team must build a boat seaworthy enough to stay afloat for the entire race course in the Key West Bight in front of Schooner Wharf. The catch---the boats are made of plywood, fasteners, duct tape, and 2' x 4's.

Minimal Regatta Construction Rules:
1. One sheet of 4' x 8' x 1/4" plywood
2. Two 2"x 4" 8'
3. One pound of fasteners
4. One roll of 2" x 60 yard duct tape
5. No caulking or adhesives - Epoxy paint is permitted
6. Painting of boats is optional

Construction kits can be bought at co-sponsor Manley de Boer on Eaton Street at a “minimal” price.

There are two categories of “Minimal Vessels” -- Kayak/Canoe Design & Open Design. Competitors will win prizes in each design group for Fastest - 1st & 2nd Place. Other prizes are awarded for the Most Creative Design - 1st & 2nd Place, Best Paint Job, Best Costumed Entry, Sportsmanship Award, and Sinker Award.

The $20.00 entry fee, as always will benefit a non military organization.


Regatta registration opens at 11 a.m. on Sunday, May 26 with vessel inspection at 12:30 p.m. Spectators have a chance to get an up close look of the ingenious vessels and fun team costumes. There will be a course demonstration between 1:15 and 1:30 p.m., followed by a conch shell start by Captain Morgan.

Whether you're a participant or a spectator, it’s a memorable Memorial Day weekend with Captain Morgan & Corona drink specials, live music with  songwriter/humorist Michael McCloud & Friends from noon-6:00. Then taking the stage are George Victory, Marty Stonely and Tom Taylor for a night of originals, soul and island music.

Enjoy a great Memorial Day BBQ and lots of laughs at the craziest regatta you've ever seen.
