Photos/Video: Brauer Wins One Two Yacht Race
Cole Brauer won the first leg of the Bermuda One-Two Yacht race, with Ms Brauer singlehandedly sailing 635 nautical miles from Rhode Island, claiming a commanding victory on this leg, with the next sailor not expected to finish until tomorrow.
As of this writing the tracker indicates the next closest yacht in the race — which saw 24 yachts set off from on Newport, Rhode Island on June 2nd — is approximately 63 nautical miles away from Bermuda.
Ms Brauer told Bernews the trip was really good, and the weather around Bermuda was ‘interesting’ and gave her chance to play with the sails.
The event website noted that “First Light, skippered by first time skipper, Cole Brauer, crossed the finish line first in the fleet of this year’s Bermuda One Two. The next boat is not expected to finish until late afternoon tomorrow.”
In explaining how the race works the advance notice of race said, “The first leg will be sailed singlehanded from Newport, Rhode Island to the finish line off St. George’s, Bermuda, by any course. The second leg will be sailed doublehanded from St. George’s to the finish line off Newport, by any course. The start of the singlehanded leg will be on Friday, June 2. The start of the doublehanded leg will be on Thursday, June 15.”
