The 51st edition of the Newport Bermuda Race is underway and we have been in the midst of the action from Newport and now from in Bermuda.

Check out some of the videos and images below from registration and interviews with competitors, right through to our live coverage of the start, which went for all two hours and fifty minutes to cover every single sequence for the seventeen classes.

LIVE! The start of the Newport Bermuda Race 2018!

We are now in Bermuda, and will have a live show on Facebook, direct from the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club, with key insights and animations from the Pantaenius Yacht Insurance tracker from 1800 ADT each day up to the official prizegiving.

You can check out our first edition below - which wasn't live or at 1800 ADT as we were boarding our plane to Bermuda, some eight hours after it was scheduled to leave Boston. I am more excited than ever to be in Bermuda I can assure you!

Daily show - Newport Bermuda Race - 16 June 2018

We will have plenty of other content going up every day, including reports from onboard some of the boats, the tracker, written pieces from the media office, and our own photos, videos and social media live content. It really is a hive of activity behind the scenes with the media team.

Registrations are open - hitting the ground running in Newport!
