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.”
Against the stunning backdrop of cerulean seas that unfurl like bolts of precious silk, the wind whispers tales of adventures past and yet to come. To those who hear the call, it sings a captivating siren’s song of freedom and oneness with nature.

Immersed in history and teeming with tales of camaraderie and daring spectral ships, the club is all set to mark its Platinum Jubilee. As enchanting as a sea shanty and as exciting as the promise of horizon, this is an invitation extended to sailing enthusiasts and their families to join in the star-spangled 70th anniversary celebration.
