    • Beverly Yacht Club, Marion, MA

    The Corsair Nationals and the Buzzards Bay Multihull Regatta (BBMR) will return to Buzzards Bay courtesy of our hosts at the Beverly  Yacht Club.  Registration is open through the Regatta Network: https://www.regattanetwork.com/event/29243

    This event includes a Distance Race Friday 7/25 and windward-leeward races Saturday and Sunday.  Mary Ellen DeFrias, who was our PRO for the 2023 Corsair Nationals, has kindly volunteered again.  The CN-BBMR is one week after the Black Dog Dash and two weeks before the Newport Unlimited; these three regattas qualify for the new NEMA Triple Crown, won for the first time in 2024 by SaraJane Whitfield and her husband Jonathan on Wicked Wahine, a Corsair 24.   To be eligible, skippers must enter all three events.  

    The CN-BBMR is sponsored by Corsair but it is open to all trimarans ranging from 19 to 41 feet.  The NOR is posted on the Regatta Network site and here: https://www.regattanetwork.com/clubmgmt/regatta_uploads/29243/NOR2025CNBBMRRegNet5165505.1.pdf

    Our current additional sponsors are Colligo Marine, supplying multihull-friendly reliable dyneema shrouds,  headsail furlers, and many other rigging devices;  Bolt Depot, which sells high-quality stainless fasteners (among many other things); and Windcraft Multihulls of the Northwest Coast of Florida on the Gulf of Mexico.    We also have support from Bob Gleason and Ira Heller at The MultihullSource.

    We are actively seeking additional sponsors to support the event (the tent; beer and food; trophies; assistance with logistics; etc).

    The Newport Unlimited is a two-day regatta open to all NEMA-rated multihulls.  Buoy Racing Saturday August 10 usually North of the Newport Bridge; distance race Sunday August 11, usually around Conanicut Island. 

    This year, the Unlimited will be co-organized with NAASA (the NE F-18 fleet). This will ensure top on-water race management while sharing resources to keep costs low. (F-18 competitors have separate registration & NOR/SI's - see https://sailnaasa.org/

    The Unlimited is the third regatta in the Triple Crown contest that starts with the Black Dog Dash July 19 in Martha's Vineyard and continues with the Corsair Nationals -Buzzards Bay Multihull Regatta July 25-26-27.  To wear the Golden Crown (studded with saphires, rubies, and other special gems) you must sail in all three events and get the best combined score.

    Organized by NAASA, the F-18 fleet.

    This is a distance race in the spirit of bigger beach-cat endurance races like the Tybee 500 and Worrell 1000. 

    The format is two "legs," one Saturday and one Sunday, with the results added together to determine overall finish times. The "legs" are really distance courses in their own right in Narragansett Bay, both starting and ending in Newport, RI.

    Registration: https://www.yachtscoring.com/emenu/50007 

    • NAASA requires six boats per fleet (exception requests due by Aug 1)
    • NOR indicates 3-day event (Fri-Sun), but NEMA competitors only have a safety inspection Fri eve, which appears to also be allowed Sat morning
    • First warning 1100 both days (skipper's meetings 0915)
