The
race is open to amateur sailors sailing cruising
yachts. Participants will have the opportunity
to compete in an open ocean passage with a group
of friendly competitors. Sailing in this race is
a life experience that can bridge the gap between
generations, solidify friendships and foster teamwork,
all the while promoting seamanship and the love
of sailing.
While
the spirit of competition flows as freely in the
veins of Marion-Bermuda racers as it does in sailboat
racers everywhere, Marion Bermuda is a cruising
yacht race. It is as much about seamanship and
the joy of coaxing the best performance possible
out of a sailboat as it is about being first to
cover the 645 nautical miles from Marion, Massachusetts
to St. David's Head, Bermuda.
The
Marion Bermuda Cruising Yacht Race started in 1977.
It began as a friendly competition between two
friends, one from the Beverly Yacht Club and Blue
Water Sailing Club and one from the Royal Hamilton
Amateur Dinghy Club. Little did they know it would
grow into the world renowned event it is today.
The event consistently draws over 100 cruising
boats every other (odd number) year for the 645
mile sail to Bermuda. |
