Race The Cape

Race The Cape July 18th to 24th 2016! Visit our Web site www.racethecape.com for details. The start is in historic St.

Race the Cape is an event, a sailing regatta, for boaters, their families, and friends that unfolds over a week each July on Cape Breton Island. Now in its fourth year, Race the Cape is seven days of challenging point-to-point sail racing, both inland and coastal ocean, broken into five legs of up to 40 nautical miles through the island’s amazing Bras d’Or Lakes and along Cape Breton Island’s rugg

ed Atlantic coast leading to the Cape Breton Highlands. Race the Cape 2016 will take place over 7 days starting July 18th, 2016 and will take sail racers to some of the most beautiful venues in Atlantic Canada. Peter's, Nova Scotia, welcoming boats coming from all over the Eastern Seaboard. The race will run in multiple legs, for a total of 175 nm (nautical miles) taking yachts to Ben Eoin, Baddeck, Sydney, Ingonish and finishing in North Sydney. Awards, feasting and entertainment every night at every venue...with overall awards after the final leg. Come join our fourth year of this exciting new Sail Race...and equally important...come party with some of the finest hosts in the world on beautiful Cape Breton Island!! New to Race the Cape in 2015 and repeated for 2016 was a Cruising Class to include non-competitive cruisers looking to get in on the action. Sailboats and powerboats are welcome to follow along and watch the fierce, but friendly, competition unfold before them while taking in the beauty of the Bras d’Or Lake.
