For the safety of our sailors given the forecast over the next 24-48 hours, we regretfully have posted "N" over "A" - all races abandoned.

The 75th edition will now start May 28, 2021 in Stamford, CT.

There will be no Block Island Race in 2020. The 75th edition will now be in 2021. Stay safe!

At this time we have decided to postpone the start from May 22nd to Friday, June 19 – the originally scheduled start date for the Newport Bermuda Race.

Health and safety are a top priority of the Storm Trysail Club and in the face of the evolving COVID-19 situation.

The NOR is posted and registration is open on Yacht Scoring for the 2020 Block Island Race which will begin on Friday, May 22.

For the 65 boats that started the 74th Storm Trysail Club Block Island Race, the wind gods proved to be capricious. Competitors found themselves to be racing in big breeze one minute, and no breeze the next.

80 boats crossed the starting line in big breeze to begin the 73rd edition of the 186 nm Storm Trysail Club Block Island Race.

With the planned start of the 72nd edition of the Block Island Race on May 26 off of Stamford, CT, conflicting weather models had navigators and skippers scratching their heads as they planned their strategies.
