World and event champions highlight a fleet adorned with accolades for the celebratory 70th Bermuda Gold Cup and 2020 Open Match Racing World Championship, hosted by the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club October 26th 30th.
Theyre all chasing the oldest trophy awarded for a competition involving one-design yachts, the King Edward VII Gold Cup, and the sterling silver World Match Racing Tour trophy that was made by Garrard & Co. The winner will also receive $30,000 of the $100,000 prize purse.
The lure of winning two esteemed championships in one fell swoop has led to a fantastic fleet that is both competitive and accomplished, said Leatrice Oatley, chairperson of the Bermuda Gold Cup. Were happy to welcome those whove been to Bermuda before and look forward to welcoming the new crews. Bermuda and the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club are ready to share the hospitality that is a hallmark of the regatta, just remember to bring a mask.
