EFG Bank to be held in Newport, RI from June 26th to the 28th, 2015.June’s most anticipated sailing event in the Northeast, the BACARDI Newport Sailing Week presented by EFG Bank, will return to Newport this summer for a week filled with good sailing and festivities. This year’s event will hold an exciting agenda with amazing sailing, an impressive “Light Photography” exhibit at Bowen’s Wharf, and exciting BACARDI events in bars and establishments throughout town. Host for this year’s event will be the Newport Yacht Club with the help of Sail Newport as the race committee.
With
the continued support from our generous sponsors along with the
precious and professional experience of Sail Newport, the BACARDI
Newport Sailing Week, now in its fifth year, attracts sailors from all
over the country. Five one design fleets will be participating,
including the extremely popular J/70. The fleets will gather and
compete in a weekend regatta filled with fun and exciting racing on the
waters of Narragansett Bay. A welcome cocktail and registration will
take place on Friday, June 26th with racing on both Saturday and
Sunday. After racing competitors will enjoy the warm BACARDI
hospitality with plenty of food, drinks and good music!Official Regatta Cocktail
The Bacardi “Cuban Storm” is the official drink of the regatta. Simple and refreshing, “Bacardi 8, Ginger Beer & Lime” is a sailor’s favorite that was introduced to celebrate the famed Bacardi Cup. Sailors and friends will be treated at the Bacardi bar inside the hospitality village.
In Miami, we had the privilege to host 46 J/70 boats, and it was a lot of fun! If you’d like to review images of the event we’ve put together a nice sailing video recap here on YouTube.
