In 1979 the Annapolis to Bermuda race had its first start.  Now,  30 years later, The Corinthians Association, in cooperation with the Stonington Harbor Yacht Club and the Boothbay Harbor Yacht Club, has created a natural rounding-out of the North Atlantic ocean racing scene with a new event that promises to be as enticing as its predecessors.

To be held every two years, in even years, the race will appeal to those who also do the Marion-Bermuda Race, or wish to prepare for it, as well as yachts returning from the Newport Bermuda Race who wish to cruise in Maine in August.

Billed as a race with a wonderful "vacation destination," it's also very convenient and inexpensive for crew transfer.

Already being touted as the "Lobster Run," the event will feature pre-race and post-race dinners and parties.

The race will be a US Sailing sanctioned Category 2 event, with ORR, PHRF spinnaker and non-spinnaker divisions.  The principal Race Officer is John Bonds, former head of the US Naval Academy sailing squadron and former executive director of US Sailing

The start will be off Stonington, Connecticut.  Competitors will round the Nantucket Shoals buoys and finish at Boothbay Harbor, Maine.  The course length is 332 nautical miles.  It will be a "navigator's race," with a choice of passing to the north or south of Block Island, and a similar decision with regard to Squirrel Island near the finish.
