FAIRHOPE, Ala. You can often spot sailboats out on the Mobile Bay enjoying a relaxing day on the water.
From time to time, local Regattas are also held by the Fairhope Yacht Club or other local organizers.

But soon, you’ll be able to enjoy several larger raises being held near the Fairhope Pier.

Performance Regattas Fast Eddie Cup has recently announced that it’ll be bringing two racing events to Fairhope, and the winners will take home more than a trophy! They’ll also be taking some cash!

The first event is being held from April 10-12 at the Fairhope Municipal Pier. The second event in Fairhope has been scheduled from June 26 to 28. Up to 15 teams of two will be able to compete to win $15,000.

But someone will also be walking away with the Grand Final prize of $50,000.

Competitors can compete one weekend or in both “mini-series’ events. Those competing in the mini-series can earn the series title, increase their winnings, and have the opportunity to advance to the Grand Final, winning the bigger cash prize.

“Fairhope is the perfect place for this kind of racing,” said Chris Morrison, founder of the Performance Regattas Fast Eddie Cup. “It’s a waterfront community that embraces innovation and sport, and we’re excited to introduce a faster, more spectator-friendly version of sailing.”

The league will provide sailors with foiling BirdyFish boats, which “removes traditional barriers to entry,” the release said.

Those wishing to compete must be at least 15 years old. Sailors under 15 must be accompanied by an adult.
