Some sixty sailors will be onboard the 11 boats that will start the Charleston Bermuda Race and they could embark on an interesting adventure.Skippers and crew will have to navigate busy shipping lanes and brave the always-fickle and often-formidable conditions of the Gulf Stream.“We see the Charleston Bermuda Race as one of the premier opportunities for branding and exposure for Bermuda as a world-class destination,” said Patrice Minors, Minister of Business Development and Tourism in Bermuda.“Bermuda has a long history as an international sailing destination and this prestigious event, with its top-notch audience, provides an opportunity to showcase our tourism assets and continue a rich tradition.”Along with the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club, the Department of Tourism has been a supporter of the Charleston Bermuda Race since its outset.Goslings Rum is also a longtime supporter of the race and continues that support this year.Boats will dock at the RBYC when they finish the 777-mile passage.No Bermuda sailors will be in the fleet with most of the skippers hailing from the US.
