A True Thrash to the Onion Patch in 2008

With 198 entries, the Newport Bermuda Race enjoyed the second largest fleet in its history, trailing only the vast squadron of 265 in the centennial 2006 race. Forty-one of the 2008 entries were owned and sailed by Cruising Club members, with at least one CCA entry in each of the five divisions. -- by John Rousmaniere - read more

Six Sailors Named to New Roll of Honour

Six extraordinary sailors from the Bermuda Race’s 100-year history were honored on November 13, 2006 at the Bermuda Race Centennial Gala at New York City’s University Club. A highlight of the gala was the induction of six sailors to the new Bermuda Race Roll of Honour, created in 2006 by the two clubs to recognize extraordinary achievement in the race. Heading the list of these half-dozen greats are two living skippers who set records that very likely will never be broken. (Image courtesy of Mystic Seaport)
