Newport Bermuda Race Start in 2 Minutes

On Friday June 21st, 162 boats set sail from Newport, racing towards the Gulf Stream and kicking off the 53rd Newport Bermuda Race. They were joined by 4,000 race fans along the shoreline, spectating the first time off Fort Adams.

The first night is expected to be slow as storms affecting southern New England have dampened the wind. It's a race to get away from land and into the next prevailing ocean breeze and Gulf Stream current. 

For those not able to catch the action live, a recording of the Race’s Starting Line Live Show Powered by Ørsted can be found on the Bermuda Race YouTube channel. Sailing fans can also follow the progress of the race using Palm Beach Motor Yachts’ online tracker or the YB Races App.

Real-time leaderboard results are be available on BermudaRace.com along with photos, news, and more. Photos are also on our Facebook page.

Follow us on social media @BermudaRace as well as we share stories from the Gulf Stream and beyond.
