2024 Bermuda Short-Handed Return
June 30, 2024: Race Start
The New York Yacht Club, the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club and the Cruising Club of America, are looking forward to the second edition of the Bermuda Short-Handed Return Race—a post Newport Bermuda Race return to Newport for Single- and Double-Handed Boats.
The race hopes to engender a safe return environment for competitors through tracking and the knowledge that other competitors are on the course to provide assistance, if needed. It is also hoped the race will promote greater interest in short-handed sailing, particularly in light of the Olympic interest under discussion.
