Newport Bermuda Race-Prep Series Begins with Bucket List Webinar in February
Winter and spring Zoom webinars will offer Q&A with experienced racers serving as panellists The Bermuda Race fleet leaves Newport with colorful spinnakers set in a northerly breeze in 2014. Daniel Forster/PPL photo Why is the race known
informally as the “Thrash to the Onion Patch” a must-sail race for so
many offshore sailors? The course covers 635 miles of open
ocean—departing the chilly spring waters off Newport, crossing the
turbulent, rapidly flowing Gulf Stream, and finally approaching the
reef-encircled islands of Bermuda. Not a challenge to take lightly, the
race gives captains the chance to take their own measure—stepping up and
taking responsibility for preparing their boats and crews, crossing the
starting line, and navigating safely to the finish and then home
again.
There is no charge for the one-hour event, and prospective crew are welcome to attend as well as captains. Registration is required at https://bermudarace.com/webinar/ where you can also review and sign up for future webinars, including “Bermuda Race Tent Party—Sea Stories from Young and Old” and “To Finish First, You First Must Finish – Safety & Yacht Preparation for the Bermuda Race.” (Note: webinar topics and schedule subject to change.)
