Update: 6/24/2020 This Feeder Race is still happening this year and already has three boats planning to sail. The new date is 7/18/20 and it's a feeder race to get boats into the Newport area for the Solo/Twin and other events in August. However, the 2020 event will be very informal without trophies or t-shirts. There will be an organized start, however, at 12 noon on the 18th!
Saturday/Sunday distance race ~160nm from Atlantic Highlands breakwater, around Sandy Hook NJ, down coastline to Manasquan sea buoy, then finish at New Harbor Block Island. Feeder race to get boats from NYC area to Black Dog and other events.
