Annapolis To Bermuda Ocean Race Underway
The 2024 Annapolis To Bermuda Ocean Race is underway, with the race, that started in 1979, covering some 753 miles. Verissimo is the current leader, Aurora is in second place, and Harmony is currently in third.
The organisation notes, “The challenging course combines inshore and offshore racing down the Chesapeake Bay, across the Gulfstream, and onto Bermuda. It enables sailors to fulfill a lifelong ambition of a blue water passage to an island known for its soft coral beaches, in an organized event promoting friendly competition with other boats.
“A number of class divisions ensure a competitive experience for both seasoned racers and more casual cruisers. A major objective of the Race is to promote the art of navigation for more sailors. A2B provides these challenges within a framework designed for safe offshore sailing.”
