The Figawi is a pretty competitive race to a big ole party!

We'll deliver the boat from NBYC to Hyannis on Friday 5/23, where we'll attend a Regatta party. Saturday is the race out to Nantucket. Big party out there too. Sunday is a lay day on Nantucket. We'll deliver the boat back to NBYC on Memorial Day (We'd REALLY appreciate a couple crew members coming for that delivery)

Those who don't do the delivery should meet at the boat early Saturday. There is room for a few crew members to sleep aboard. If you're going to grab a VRBO or a hotel, I'd recommend reserving one fast. It's a popular weekend!

The 635-mile biennial Newport Bermuda Race is the oldest regularly scheduled ocean race, one of very few international distance races, and (with the Transpac Race) one of just two of the world’s regularly scheduled races held almost entirely out of sight of land. Founded in 1906, the 52nd running of the Bermuda Race is scheduled for June 17, 2022.
