Registration is underway for the biennial Michael A. Mentuck Ocean Race sponsored by the Boston Yacht Club.
🔹 The race is named for the late “Mike” Mentuck, a past commodore of the BYC and major supporter of ocean racing including the famed Marblehead to Halifax Ocean Race.
🔹 The 75+ nautical mile race will begin at 11 a.m. on Friday, July 19 outside Marblehead Harbor and finish on July 20 at Provincetown, MA.
🔹 Billed as the ultimate scenic ocean tour with an epic party in Provincetown, the course will take racers to Boston to Jeffey’s Ledge off the coast of Gloucester where they will turn and head toward Plymouth and then to the tip of Cape Cod.
🔹Skippers can get more information or sign up at 2024 Michael A. Mentuck Ocean Race on Yacht Scoring.
🔹 Boston Yacht Club is committed to providing environmental stewardship. Every BYC Race and Series will operate as a Clean Regatta. This entails executing to the greatest extent possible best practices defined by Sailors for the Sea in its Clean Regattas program. All competitors should plan to promote and adopt a “leave no trace” approach before, during and after the event, both at sea and ashore. All competitors and support personnel including vendors are asked to cooperate by reducing waste. This includes avoiding single-use plastics such as bottled water and preventing toxins from entering marine habitats.
