Aan het prachtige witte strand van Palm Beach ligt het gastvrije Holiday Inn Resort, dat de thuisbasis is voor de deelnemers en de regatta. De boten liggen direct voor het hotel op het strand. De kamers zijn ruim en comfortabel. Het gastvrije personeel van het Holiday Inn Resort zorgt voor een aangenaam verblijf in het gerenoveerde hotel.

The eight races will take place under the supervision of Edwin Lodder (race - leader of the Ronde on Texel). There are two races per day (except on Wednesday Rest Day), plus a semi long distance and a long distance race along the white beaches and through the mighty lagoons than surround the island.

The results are calculated using the ISAF SCHRS handicap scheme and the fleet is spit into fleets a fast and slow handicap with all boats starting together. Daily prizes are issued to the 1st three in each category. A wide variety of boats are sailed including Hurricane 5.9, Tornado, Nacra Inter 18 & 20, Nacra 6.0, Dart 18, Hawk, Storm F20, Spitfire, Hobie Tiger and various other Hobies and Prindles.

The races tend to last approximately one hour with the exception of the long distance race and are held close to the beach, providing excellent spectating for the non sailors and public watching from the beach.
