BROC Gathers in Bermuda to Strategically Plan for Their Blockbuster 100th Anniversary Celebration
The Bermuda Race Organising Committee (BROC) convened in Hamilton, Bermuda for their annual meeting centred around planning the centenary of the iconic ocean race.
The Bermuda Race, a marquee event in the global sailing calendar, is turning a century old. In preparation for the grand celebration, the Bermuda Race Organising Committee (BROC) has held its annual meeting at the RBYC in Hamilton. This gathering served up a vibrant mixture of face-to-face and virtual brainstorming sessions, packed with energy and anticipation for the forthcoming anniversary.
"The Bermuda Race is always an extraordinary spectacle," enthused Race Chair, Andrew Kallfelz. "We are amplifying that resonance in 2026 to mark a century of partnership and camaraderie embodying the quintessence of yacht racing. Every BROC member came equipped with brilliant ideas and spirited fervour to make this race a crowd-puller for posterity."
As we sail towards the end of 2025, anticipation for the next Bermuda Race is heightening. The formidable fleet is now over 100 strong. Alongside the illustrious yachts, there is a mix of family and community-based teams. Registration is now open and set to increase from December 19, prompting enthusiasts to secure their spots early.
This anniversary race promises not only competitive adventure on the high seas but also a celebration of a century-old international partnership, camaraderie, and history-making moments - a true embodiment of the spirit of sailing.

What this means on the water
This story matters only if it helps sailors, owners, clubs, marinas and readers make better decisions afloat or ashore. The new point should be the named event, result, boat, notice, place or change in the report above, not the shine around it. Old Sea Dogs treats press releases and organiser statements as a starting point, then looks for the practical detail: dates, entry rules, berthing, costs, crew impact, safety notes and what readers should check next. What remains uncertain is the usual waterfront mix of weather, final notices, availability, pricing and how a claim holds up once people arrive.
