The legendary Newport - Bermuda Race is a 635-mile ocean race, most of it out of sight of land, usually lasting three to six days. It crosses a stretch of the Atlantic Ocean known for challenging weather, especially in the Gulf Stream, where there are strong currents.

Every two years in mid-June, over 180 boats start from the historic seaport of Newport, Rhode Island. The race maintains its international prestige through competitive fairness, an exemplary safety record, and a responsive race organization handled by the Cruising Club of America and the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club. Sailors everywhere dream of adding the Newport Bermuda Race to their life list of adventures.

The race course itself falls into three parts, each distinct from the other. The cold water approach to the Gulf Stream, crossing the Stream and the warm weather approach to Bermuda. How you navigate each segment determines how you fare on the race!
