Annapolis Bermuda Race Start Lineup
- Parade of A2B boats flying racing pennants- noon
- Warning signal for the 1st start- 1:30 p.m.
- Race starts in the vicinity of R-2 at the entrance to the Severn River
Spectator On-Water Courtesy
- Observe speed limits and "no wake" restrictions.
- Maintain a safe distance from the racers, stay aft of their beam and avoid passing across their bows.
- Sailboats keep your sails down in the area adjacent to the start area. By doing so you'll help shore side and other on-water spectators see the race; you won't interfere with the racers' wind patterns; and you won't be confused with a race boat.
Not racing to Bermuda? But want to feel the thrill of the start on someone else's boat? Well, here's your chance...
The Schooner Liberté is available as a spectator boat on June 6 from 11:30 to 3:30 p.m. The price is $50 per person, and reservations are required. Liberté will depart from the Chart House Dock at 222 Severn Ave. Contact: [email protected] or 410-263-8234.
