Newport Bermuda Race 2026

On-Line Race starts Friday 19th June at 1705 UTC

Sailonline is honored and delighted to once again be the partner for the Bermuda Race Organizing Committee ( BROC – made up of the Cruising Club of America and Royal Bermuda Yacht Club ) running of the renowned Newport Bermuda Race. So, if you cannot make it out onto the real water for this epic event, here is your chance to compete with both real and online sailors in virtual reality on sailonline.org. Also if you’re sitting on your sofa, rather than draped over the rail of your owner’s yacht, take a moment to view the Starting Line Live Show that will stream on youtube, powered by Ørsted.

The very first Bermuda Race was held in 1906 when the general view was that it would be insane for amateur sailors to race offshore in boats under 80 feet. Thomas Fleming Day, editor of ‘The Rudder’ magazine, vehemently disagreed, insisting, “The danger of the sea for generations has been preached by the ignorant.” Certain that an ocean race would be enjoyable and safe, and would also develop better sailors and better boats, the Newport Bermuda Race was born.

Since 1906, more than 50,000 men and women of all ages and 5,000 yachts have sailed in this unique race that is known and respected worldwide as “The Thrash to the Onion Patch”. Also, the race takes some credit for the formation of the Fastnet Race, for accelerating the career of famed designer Olin Stephens and for the development of new rating rules.

In previous years, Sailonline has offered online competitors the possibilty to sail in any of the four divisions that the real fleet will be divided into. This year, in order to increase the competitive challenge, however, the race will be all-in and one-design. To ensure that online competitors will nevertheless be jousting with the front end of the real fleet, which will be tracked on the sailonline chart, your one-design of choice is the silky slick Club Swan 50!

Sailonline's virtual Bermuda Race will open for pre-race practice on
Friday 12th June at 1200 UTC.
