If you have never experienced the thrill of sailing the world famous Bras d'Or and coastal Cape Breton Island, this July is the perfect opportunity! Race the Cape 2013!
This is your chance to experience first-hand an ambitious new race, Race the Cape, tailor-made to challenge and thrill crews with point-to-point legs including both inshore and coastal offshore sections. The first two race legs will be held in the Bras d’Or, a salt water lake system roughly 100 km in length and 50 km in width, open to the North Atlantic by natural channels, allowing the passage of even the largest yachts. With fog-free waters, prevailing SW 15 to 20 knot winds, beautiful anchorages, hundreds of coves and islands, accessible small port towns, friendly people and deep, well-marked water, the Bras d'Or is a natural choice for this new regatta. The third leg, of over 40 nautical miles, will carry you through the Great Bras d'Or and out into the Atlantic Ocean, along the rugged Cape Breton Coastline to Sydney Harbour. The final leg involves a run back out into the Cabot Strait beyond Spanish Bay, returning to Sydney for the finish.
Cape Breton Island is also famous for its hospitality, and crews will be treated to a "roaring good time". Some of the best entertainment and food Cape Breton has to offer will be showcased each evening at the host yacht clubs. Leveraging our spectacular vistas and rich history of seamanship, Race the Cape's organizing committee is pulling out all the stops to ensure Race the Cape participants a world class event.
