THE 2014 BERMUDA RACE STARTS TODAY

I have not written about sailing much recently. That does not mean I have not been watching. The Bermuda Race starts today from Castle Hill Light in Newport RI.

Based on the presentation for skippers, the rhumb line is the course to sail. I am certain there will be some who will search for the favorable eddy; it is a free ride after all.

Snow Lion is chartered to the Hubbards, they won the race a few years ago in their own boat. I had the pleasure of racing across the atlantic in 2005 on the same watch with them.( we won that as well)

This is a navigator’s race and the Gulf Stream is an obvious obstacle; however it must be considered in conjunction with the weather.

Safe sailing to everyone
