This year will mark the 70th edition of this classic 46nm race. Run annually the Saturday of Columbus Day weekend, competitors typically race to Stratford Shoal and back.

Racing includes fully crewed and double-handed divisions plus a shorter 19nm course for non-spinnaker divisions.

The nickname “Gearbuster” attests to the usually boisterous weather we enjoy in October.

[Date has not been confirmed on IHYC web site but this is the expected date.]
