The parade of boats heading to the “Start Your Heart Out” practice line is a long-standing tradition of the BBR event. This year's theme is Mardis Gras. At noon all registered boats will enter the Paradise Village Marina harbor and will be ushered into the proper sequence to parade past the judges stand. They will then proceed to the “Start Your Heart Out” practice area.

Start Your Heart Out is a BBR tradition.  This is a chance try some practice starts, its also a chance for the Race Committee to run through the starting sequence a couple of times. We set a short windward mark to make it fun. Start, round the mark to port, rinse and repeat. New this year the last start of the day (15:00) will be the weekly Beercan Rally. A triangle for the cruisers and multihulls and we add an extra windward leeward for the 'racers'. It is great fun for all!

After "parading" around in your Mardis Gras attire and practicing for the big race, join us at VYC for an evening of Cajun inspired menu specials and music! Start the evening with our Happy Hour (well drinks) from 5:30 - 6:30 and enjoy some Cajun cuisine and music!

This is the first day that your racing skills and performance really count. Good luck!!
