The Bermuda Race Organizing Committee (BROC) is excited to announce that Barton & Gray Mariners Club is participating as an Official Sponsor and the check-in boat for the start of the 2022 iconic ocean race.
Barton & Gray's Hinckley yachts will be visible near the starting line providing exclusive spectator opportunities for their Club members as well as VIP guests of the Cruising Club of America and the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club.
"It is a real pleasure to have a partner like Barton & Gray support the Newport Bermuda Race. Watching the race start aboard one of their vessels will be a wonderful experience — a perfect vantage point to wish the sailors well as they set sail to Bermuda," says Somers Kempe, BROC Chairman.
"Our Members have been taking in the action and beauty of the Bermuda Race start aboard our fleet for the past 15 years, so we could not be happier to officially support and celebrate this international sailing event," said co-founder Doug Gray.
Barton & Gray Mariners Club provides its members with unlimited access to a fleet of more than 70 captained Hinckleys, Boston Whalers, and Daychasers in 30-plus locations. From Nantucket to Naples, the yachts are berthed at the finest marinas and resorts available, and there is no limit to the number of trips a member can take. An in-house concierge team curates each outing to ensure unforgettable experiences on the water.
