 NEWPORT, RI, USA, March 15, 2012 — Following the success of the Transatlantic Race 2011 and its companion Atlantic Ocean Racing Series, the Royal Yacht Squadron and the New York Yacht Club, in conjunction with the Royal Ocean Racing Club and the Storm Trysail Club, announce the Transatlantic Race 2015 (TR 2015). The race will start in mid-May, 2015 from Newport, Rhode Island, the on-the-water home of the New York Yacht Club. The TR 2015 is scheduled to coincide with the 200th Anniversary of the Royal Yacht Squadron (RYS) in early June.

The Bermuda Race has not yet happened, and already plans are set for another transatlantic race. While I understand the desire to break a record set; the idea of finishing at the Lizard, which is near nothing, seems silly.
Inane. Why not finish at the Needles so as to be close to the RYC and their 200th?
Note: should be RYS, mea culpa.
