The Southern
Ocean Racing Conference (SORC), an American institution, is promoting a regatta
from the city of Miami to Havana without the support of a Cuban nautical
institution, by ignoring the Hemingway International Yacht Club of Cuba (HIYC
of Cuba), thanks to which the first two editions were recognized as official
events by the Cuban authorities in 2016 and 2017. In addition, SORC is using
the logo of HIYC of Cuba without having the consent of this Cuban
nautical institution.
In its 26 years of existence, the HIYC of Cuba has hosted dozens of regattas organized by institutions of the American boating community and reiterates its willingness to continue contributing to the construction of the bridge of friendship and collaboration with that community.
Today the Hemingway International Yacht Club of Cuba is a Sanctuary of love for the sea and friendship between people who love the sea; and a bastion in defense of Cuban history and nautical traditions.
