The talk on the dock is that this race was a “sailmaker’s dream” as plenty of spinnakers were torn during the rare downwind Thrash to the Onion Patch.
Life onboard was not easy for the nearly 1,600 sailors who raced to Bermuda Race this year but this is why they do it!
Thanks to these boats who shared photos from their Race. @oakcliffsail OC86, Masquerade, Black Watch and Ragana.

Yesterday, the Governor of Bermuda 🇧🇲, Rena Lalgie walked the docks of @royalbermudayc chatting with the sailors, particularly the youth sailors of the @ratzracing about their initiatives.
As the sun begins to set on another Bermuda Race, we are so thankful for all the sailors, volunteers, and fans who are a part of this 116 year tradition.

John Browning is the current living record holder for the most Bermuda Races with 27. Second to Jim Mertz with 30 but he has “sailed his last Bermuda Race” as they say. He has never sailed it on his own boat and the boat he crewed in this year, JCurve, almost never made it to the starting line.
Listen to this great interview over some @goslingsrum for some great stories. Link in bio to our YouTube page.

Here's an ode to the crew trimming the sails. We hope your necks have gotten some relief from looking up for 600 miles!

Since the tragic loss of Colin Golder on Sunday and our statement that evening, the ensign at the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club has flown at half-mast and been solemnly observed by members and visiting sailors at colours each evening.
The Bermuda Race Organizing Committee has stayed in contact with Mr. Golder’s family and the crew of the 42-foot Morgan of Marietta, which has returned safely to the mainland.
During this time, we have reached out to the leadership of @USSAILING, the national governing body for the sport in the U.S., and encouraged the appointment of an independent panel to review what happened and publish a report to help all sailors learn from the loss of Mr. Golder. US Sailing will announce the appointment of a panel in due course.
While words are inadequate at a time like this, we extend our deepest sympathies to Mr. Golder’s family, friends, and crew as we await the report of the US Sailing panel.
Learn more about what makes the Newport Bermuda Race so special from its 100+ year history to the legendary sailors who have participated.
Find all you need to know about the race with this guide to walk you through the entry process, planning for inspections, and meeting all the race requirements.
Each year we compile useful information to help competitors prepare the race from shore side logistics to navigational tutorials of the Gulf Stream.
