2004 Offshore 160

2004 Offshore 160

Friday, July 16, 2004 Sponsored by the Rhode Island State Yachting Committee

Co-sponsored by Goat Island Yacht Club Ltd. and Newport Yacht Club

The date for the start of the 2004 Offshore 160 is Friday, July 16th.   The biennial Offshore 160+, held in the off-year from the Bermuda ONE-TWO, is a 160+-mile qualifier for the ONE-TWO. It is a low-keyed, bare-bones event designed to potentially get new skippers' singlehanded qualifying passage out of the way in the off-year, and to provide past competitors with a long-distance racing "fix."
