Schooner Race

Each October, schooners of all description gather just south of the Annapolis Bay Bridge for the Great Chesapeake Bay Schooner Race to Portsmouth, Virginia. This year during Cruising World’s Boat of the Year testing, we took break from our duties to swing past the starting line. Boy, what a sight.

Annapolis Boat Show 2013

The U.S. Sailboat Show took place October 10-14, 2013 in Annapolis, Maryland. Rain couldn’t keep these crowds away!

Jon, Jeroboam and the Sea

The OSTAR is a northern crossing of the Atlantic, against prevailing winds, from Plymouth, United Kingdom to Newport, R.I.. The race is organized by the Royal Western Yacht Club in the UK and takes place once every four years. New Englander Jonathan Green finished the race in his Beneteau Oceanis 351, Jeroboam, in 22 days.

2013 Maine Boatbuilders Show

Attendance and number of exhibitors were both up at this year’s show, an annual rite of better weather to come in New England.

Calamities of the Vendée Globe

The nonstop solo around-the-world race has been called the “Everest of the Seas.” Like Everest, the Vendée Globe takes prisoners. As the miles left to the finish diminish, so do the number of boats in the race.
