A2B open for entries

The 19th biennial Annapolis Bermuda Race (A2B) — formerly the Bermuda Ocean Race — is open for  entries.

The A2B begins on June 6 in Annapolis and finishes 753 nautical miles later in Bermuda.

The entry fee is $950 but boats entered before January 1, 2014, can save $100 off their registration fee. 

The final entry deadline is May 1, 2014. The competition is open to any single or multi-hulled sailing yacht of more than 28 feet, with organizers expecting up to 50 entries. 

There will be PHRF, IRC, cruising, double-handed and one-design classes. Three boats in any one class qualify for a start.

Annapolis’ Eastport Yacht Club and Bermuda’s St. George’s Dinghy and Sports Club host the race.

Prior to the start of the race, several free seminars will cover all aspects of preparing for the race.
