History of the Regatta
In 1960, Mark Albury became the 1st skipper to win the Key
Largo Perpetual Trophy Shark Class; and in 1974, he served
as Commodore.
A
memorial race to honor him was first held in 1991.
The Mark Albury Perpetual Trophy is presented to the first
beach catamaran to cross the finish line with the best
corrected time in the annual Miami to Key Largo Race.
