The sailing tradition continues today where 30A locals and visitors gather to cheer on teams as they navigate 16-foot catamarans in a race from Grayton Beach (originally known as the “rags” side of town) to Seagrove (also known as the “riches” neighborhood). The race benefits South Walton Artificial Reef Association (SWARA)
