POWERING THROUGH: RACEWORLD OFFSHORE WRAPS ANOTHER WEEK OF RACES

Three days of races and eight days of powerboat pomp and circumstance was added to the annals of Key West this month.

Raceworld Offshore once again filled the town with people and powerboats, as more than 70 boats competed in 12 classes, from the large Class 12 and Supercat divisions, to the smaller but still super-fast classes.

This year’s field also included powerboats sponsored by two familiar businesses — Harpoon Harry’s and Hank’s Hair of the Dog Saloon. Complete results are at raceworldoffshore.com/2023-results/.
