Welcome To The 2023 Race

Welcome back!

We are thrilled to be running the Marion to Bermuda Race in 2023 after the enforced break due to the global pandemic. Hopefully by June of 2023, restrictions will be all but gone and normal service will be resumed. Our team of dedicated volunteers across our three sponsoring clubs have been working hard to bring you the best ocean racing experience possible.

We've modified class splits to give performance boats a greater opportunity to win silverware, and we will be using ORR Performance Curve Scoring modified specifically for the Marion to Bermuda Race. This will help equalize the unique two races within one nature of Marion to Bermuda. Our race continues to cater for multihulls, families and our unique identifier of rewarding yachts sailing under celestial navigation. Since its inception in 1977, the Marion to Bermuda Race (MBR) has been a Corinthian event and our core values reflect that all yachts and crew are participating for the joy and pleasure of sailing, competition, and the camaraderie that accompanies such an offshore event.

For those looking to participate in an ocean race for the first time, there is a deep well of knowledge that can be drawn upon to help you prepare your boat and for your crew to have fun, be competitive and above all, be safe. Stay tuned to social media, your inbox and the race website for updates, news and access to resources.

There is a warm welcome awaiting you at Beverly Yacht Club next year, and there are the legendary parties and hospitality at The Royal Hamilton Amateur Dinghy Club in Bermuda.

See you on the start line,
Neil Redburn
Executive Director
