Sailboat race to Cuba may have violated federal regulations*** Moments before departing for the race, agents reminded the boaters that they would be violating the law if they chose to leave. A race participant told Young in an e-mail after she arrived in Cuba that Commerce agents handed out pieces of paper to the boats before they left the dock, telling them the medical supplies were covered, but not the boats…………….. ``It is our inalienable right to travel, particularly to Cuba,'' he said. ``There's no war there. The Cuban people love us. I think we have a moral obligation to help them. They are our friends and neighbors. There is no reason for this and we're going to stand up to it.''***
