Ida Lewis Distance Race
August 19, 2021 - August 21, 2021
2019 IDA LEWIS DISTANCE RACE
Hosted by Ida Lewis Yacht Club in Newport, Rhode Island, the 17th edition of the annual Ida Lewis Distance Race, scheduled for August 19-21, literally offers something for every type of big boat sailor.
Not only are there classes for ORC, PHRF (including Cruising Spinnaker) and Double-Handed (Mixed Gender and Open) but also there are Youth and Collegiate challenges.
Entrants also have a choice of racing in either the traditional OFFSHORE distance race, starting on Friday (August 20) and requiring overnight sailing, or the shorter IN BAY distance race, starting and finishing Saturday (August 21). The latter is a holdover from adaptations made last year to accommodate sailors during uncertain times.
