This is the George W. Mixter trophy that’s awarded to the winning navigators in the Bermuda Race Lighthouse Divisions. George W. Mixter was the cook in a boat in the 1926 Bermuda Race when he “caught the germ.” By 1940 he knew enough to publish his authoritative manual, Primer of Navigation.⠀
A typical navigator during the first 70 years of the Bermuda Race was described humorously by a shipmate as “crawling from the main hatch like a strange, subterranean animal. With eyes red and bleary from peeking through a sextant all the afternoon, he examined the sky critically and then dove below for his instruments.” Not a role most would take on willingly but Mixter mastered the science and became a true legend in Bermuda Race history. ⠀

“The Multiple Races in the Bermuda Race” ➡️ Check out the recap from last week's Race Prep Webinar about divisions and advice from the Technical Committee. ⠀
⠀
"It's a Race about Rules," said Nick Nicholson, chair of the Committee and renowned measurement official, he emphasized the rules that sailors were responsible for reading and following, including Racing Rules of Sailing, the Offshore Racing Rule, the Notice of Race and the Newport Bermuda Race Safety Requirements.⠀
⠀
Also, this table was presented by former Race Chair, A.J. Evans, for illustrative purposes about the differences between divisions on our website!⠀

TOMORROW May 11, 1900, EDT - “What Division is Right for Me in the Bermuda Race?” This is our Race-Prep Webinar #4. Sign Up in link in bio. (Webinar Series)⠀
⠀
In this one-hour webinar, past race chair A.J. Evans and technical committee chair Nick Nicholson will help you decide which “race within the Bermuda Race” is right for you, your boat, and your crew.⠀
⠀
Your type of boat and your crew make-up will sometimes make it obvious whether you will sail in the St. David’s, Gibbs Hill, Finisterre or other divisions, but often as Captain you can make equipment and crew choices to sail in a more or less intensely competitive mode, thereby moving into one division or another.⠀
⠀
Moderated by Race Vice-Chairman Mark Lenci, our experts will review several examples and respond to your questions.⠀
⠀
Registration is free, but you must REGISTER to receive the Zoom link for the event. As you register, you are also invited to submit questions in advance. (NOTE: If you've previously registered, there's no need to do so again.)⠀
