2013-03-30 00:52:40 - Marion to Bermuda Cruising Yacht Race
Just a though - on the alternate years to the Newport to Bermuda Yacht race the Marion to Bermuda race is run. It is run from Marion Massachusetts instead of Newport, RI, just a few miles further up the coast. This year's race starts on June 14th, so there's not much time to plan this.
I propose using a Swan 36 or maybe a 1st 47 as both could be used as cruising boats.

Here is a link to the race web site:
http://www.marionbermuda.com/

here is a description of where to start from the race web site:

The starting line will be between a staff displaying an orange flag on the Starting Line
Committee boat at the starboard end, and Green Gong Buoy "1” at the port end. The buoy is 1 NM south-southeast of Centerboard Shoal, and is at 41° 39.0' N and 70° 42.8' W.

JLinc... A terrific idea! We have not been able to arrange buddy-ups with any of the Bermuda race events. I tried a few years ago for the Annapolis/Bermuda, but got no traction.

Do you know anyone in the Marion YC that would be interested to open the dialogue?? If so, let RC know... she is the master at organizing these relationships.

Sorry Shamrock - don't know anyone down there - I know it's close to me, but I can pull no strings.....

In my original post is the official web site for the event. I think RC could start there.

I'll see what I can do - June tends to be a bit full but let's check the SOL Racing Year and see what is doable.

Mistli's Birthday BBQ Race 2025


Welcome to one of Sailonline's great traditions - the ofttimes slightly untimely celebration of SOLer Mistli's birthday on November 1, by way of a tricky race through the Stockholm Archipelago. To match the day that’s in it, this year correctly, we are providing you with a fleet of sleek 11 metre 1-designs (get it?) to slice through these (at least) 61.5nm of SLI-infested waters, and give you a fair chance that there will still be some beer left by the time you moor up by the jetty at Trosa!

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Carnarvon to Dondra


From here, our home in Bharatavarṣa is now north west of us – said Sinbad to his fellow balloonists. Perhaps we can ride the wind first further north, and then catch the winds that every year bring the rain, perhaps not. It’s 2600nm and we could be aloft awhile, so, Master el-Quarters, victuals only, no sandbags, provisioning the giant hamper. It will be not a picnic!
