Manhattan Yacht Club has been invited to field a team for the Bermuda Invitational Keelboat Regatta. This event is hosted by the Bermuda Tourism Authority and will be held at the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club.
Our Club will field a race team skippered by Commodore Michael Fortenbaugh along with Luigi Galbiati, Eivind Karlsen, Malcolm Forbes & Matt Winalski. They have been sailing well this year, winning both the spring and summer series.
In addition to our race team, Manhattan Yacht Club traditionally sends a social team to these great international events.
All Members are invited and encouraged to join this social team and fly down to Bermuda for the weekend. Bermuda is a great island to visit. It’s just a short flight from NYC and airfare is very reasonable. This regatta will be after our sailing season has ended in the harbor. So what better way to continue our yachting season than traveling to Bermuda, cheering for our team and hanging out at the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club!
Racing will be over 3 days, Thur – Sat, Nov 17-19. As a member of our social team, you can fly down on Friday evening for two nights of events and return on Sunday. Or you can fly down on Thursday evening to do more. Your choice! There are great hotels to stay in. Airfare is still offered in the low $200 range.
Bermuda is super hot in the world of sailing this year. They will be hosting the America’s Cup next June. The Royal Bermuda Yacht Club is right in the center of it all. This is a super exciting invitation and great opportunity for our Members to do some travel, extend our sailing social season at the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club bar. If you would like to join the MYC Social Team for this international event, send an email right away to office@myc.org.
