Monster Energy / M CON swept every race day at the Key West World Championship, claiming both the Class 1 UIM World Championship and the Key West World Championship title in the same class. It was the standout result from a week that crowned new champions across 14 divisions.
The 2026 Race World Offshore Key West World Championship ran from 1 to 8 November in Key West, Florida, with three race days deciding the titles. The Truman Waterfront Cup went off on Wednesday, the Southernmost Continental Championship on Friday, and the Conch Republic Championship closed things out on Sunday. Key West also served as the final round of the UIM World Championship Series for Class 1, Class 2, Super Cat and Super Stock.
Several outfits dominated their fields all week. Alongside Monster Energy / M CON's clean sweep, CR Racing did the same in Super Cat, Wicked / Lakeside Motorsports swept Cat 300, OC Racing took every Bracket Class 200 race, and Moderation ran the table in Bracket Class 600. Five teams, five perfect weeks.
Not every class was so straightforward.
Bracket Class 400 produced the tightest finish of the regatta. Hartman / XINSURANCE held off Saris Racing Engines by just 15 points for the Key West title, even though Saris won two of the three individual race days, Wednesday and Sunday, to Hartman's one on Friday. Saris had the stronger daily form, but Hartman's points held up across the full three-day series.
On the UIM side, the world titles were spread more evenly. Team Montlick claimed the Class 2 crown with 90 points, well clear of Monster Energy / HURT on 70. Raymarine topped the Super Stock UIM standings with 4,208 points ahead of Team Bermuda on 3,477, though Team Bermuda turned that around to win the Key West Super Stock title outright with daily wins on Friday and Sunday.
Super Cat's UIM and Key West titles both went to CR Racing, a tidy double for the #8 boat after its sweep of all three race days, and a fitting note on which a week of champions came to a close.
