We are excited to announce that the Northeast Ocean Race Symposium, building on its great success in 2023, is returning in 2024! The 2024 symposium, an in-person only event, will feature all new topics presented by marine industry leaders and renowned speakers on a range of topics sure to be of interest to ocean sailboat racers. We will be at the same venue (Bentley University, Waltham, Massachusetts) that received rave reviews from those who attended in 2023. The Marion Bermuda Race, as the lead organizer, is once again joined by the Marblehead Halifax Race and the Bermuda 1-2 Race as sponsors.

You can jump to registration, check out the 2024 program or view some short video highlights from 2023 to see what you may have missed. Join us for a full day of information, camaraderie, and fun with a set of sessions to help you better prepare for and enjoy your offshore racing or cruising goals. There will be speakers, a panel, and opportunities for questions and answers as well as a “gam” to close out our day and hopefully ease your path to adventures offshore.

Over 150 people attended the inaugural Northeast Ocean Race Symposium in March of 2023. A slate of nautical experts shared their knowledge with a full day of presentations, panels, and exhibitor displays.

Here are just a few comments from those who attended:
