As the 77th edition of the Block Island Race opens for entries, it might be worth noting that in the last Bermuda Race year in 2022, 77 boats embarked on the race from Stamford, Conn., on that Friday afternoon in May. This year, on May 24th at 2 pm, Storm Trysail Club hopes to see even more entries take on the 186nm adventure.
Storm Trysail Club offers options for teams looking for practice before the iconic ocean race in June or for local racers looking for a new challenge. Boats can opt to sail ORC or PHRF in the 186nm around Block Island or 136nm down Long Island Sound to Plum Island.
