How the VX One Fleet Races CRW!
This year promises to be an epic Charleston Race Week experience for the VX One fleet. The event responded to the fleet's request to be moved farther out in the harbor away from the shallows so VX One racing will take place on the same course as the J70s and Melges 24s. Twenty-five boats are registered and the fleet hopes that there'll be at least 30 on the start line. It's not too late to register!
Three boats competing shared their stories about getting into the VX One, the joy of racing Charleston Race Week and why they keep returning year after year to race.
