Bermuda will now compete against Mexico, Cuba and El Salvador. 1st place will advance, with 2nd & 3rd place competing against 2nd & 3rd place of the other group (Uruguay, Puerto Rico, Venezuela & Antigua) with the winner of this race advancing through.
The crowd gathered in anticipation as Bermuda’s elite sailing squad marched alongside their continental competitors, marking the official commencement of the high-stakes qualifying tournament.
Clad in the national colours and proudly flying the Bermuda flag, the team’s entrance was a special moment for the island's maritime community, signifying the start of what promises to be a gruelling yet historic campaign.
