A new Race Headquarters and Village will be established at Bowen's Wharf and Seamen's Church Institute on Newport's historic waterfront.
The Bermuda Race Organizing Committee announced today that the headquarters for the next running of the 635-mile Newport Bermuda Race will be centrally located on Newport's storied harbor.
The Bowen's Wharf Company and the Seamen's Church Institute, adjacent to each other, will anchor the race headquarters, providing easier access to competitors and a public profile for the race. Participant registration, Bermuda Customs pre-clearance, yacht tracker distribution, media communications, and exhibits will be included.
A convenient walking distance from most marinas and amidst the dozens of shops and restaurants on and near Bowen's Wharf, the downtown location for the Race will allow the 2,000 competing sailors as well as the public to fully enjoy the race activities and energy along the Newport waterfront.
