BROC Chairman Fred Deichmann said, “We are pleased to present the Notice of Race so that competitors may begin planning their entry in our 2014 race. We are also enthusiastic about our new 2014 Newport Bermuda Race Safety Requirements and expect that competitors will find them compact, specific, and easy to understand and use.”
“We urge everyone interested in the 2014 Race, newcomers and vets alike, to read the new NOR now,” Deichmann added.
Significant changes for 2014 include:
The new safety requirements are among the many topics concerning the race and long-distance sailing that will be addressed at the Cruising Club of America Bermuda Race Safety at Sea Seminar in Newport, R.I., on March 15-16.
