Miles Market in Hamilton is the place. Great provisioning spot...everything you can think of for a cruise back to NA. They handle all of the Bermuda Races and have it down. Pricey but that's Bermuda. Go to http://www.miles.bm/Reborn-MilesVer3/inde...

- Thanks Ray.
Without you or Charlie being aboard this race, there will no one onboard
with any formal medical training. I thought I would ltake an emerency first
aid course of some sort. Any thoughts or recommendations as what would
be most appropriate?

- A picture of proper demenier is in the works.
I hope to sail again in the Marion Race in 2009.
Yes I think another presentation at Seawanhak would be a good idea.

- Btw, yes, we are considering doing the race next year. We may actually be two boats but must figure out the timing issue. Fair winds to you too! -franc

If you are interested in the history of the Marion Bermuda Race, the following was written by Bob Hlady for last years 30th Anniversary Racebook.
The equipment for the Marion-Bermuda Cruising Yacht Race keeps changing. The yachts get bigger. Innovations keep showing up at the starting line: trimarans, catamarans, carbon-fiber spars, asymmetrical spinnakers, satellite navigation systems. Snowy white Dacron sails are giving way to a rainbow of Kevlar, Mylar, and a host of other, once-exotic compo… Continue

2008 Newport Bermuda Race Survey by Bill Barton, past Race Chairman.
A well done informative survey from the Newport Bermuda folks. Good lessons for any race planning.
After each Newport Bermuda Race, the Bermuda Race Organizing Committee conducts a survey of all skippers with the double aim of understanding what happened on the course and improving the next race. The survey of the 2008 race fleet indicates that sailors are happy with the race, but with a few qualifications.
There’s no question that they want to come back. Despite rough weather, 94% of surveyed… Continue
