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!

Founded in 1906, the 52nd running of the Bermuda Race is scheduled for June 17, 2022.
