Aug 15

When the Ida Lewis Distance Race starts this Friday (August 19) at 11 a.m., spectators on land and water will bear witness to one of New England’s most unique sailing adventures, observing its 17th edition. Forty-one teams, split into classes for ORC, PHRF, PHRF Double Handed, and PHRF Cruising Spinnaker, will head out to sea, past Fort Adams and Castle Hill to take on one of four overnight round-trip courses (“The Montauk”, “The Block Island”, “The Point Judith”, “The Buzzards Bay Tower”) that range in length from 112 to 169 nautical miles. The course will have been chosen in advance by the Ida Lewis Yacht Club Race Committee when it is clear what the wind and weather will be doing over the coming 18 -24 hours. “The Ida Lewis Distance Race is a fun overnight sprint where strategy and tactics are important,” said Sheila McCurdy (Middletown, R.I.), skipper of the McCurdy & Rhodes 38 Selkie, which will sail in PHRF and was designed and built by her father. “Our crew is a combination of three very good offshore sailors and three sailors who want more experience on big boats. I love that offshore sailing is an opportunity to mix generations; our crew has an age range from one in her teens to one in her 60s.”(link in bio) #sailing #newportri #instagood #summer2022 #newportbuzz #oceanstate #love #instadaily #newengland #rhodeisland #scenesofnewengland #instanews #instasail #sail #morgancup #news #idalewis #idalewisdistancerace

Fully expecting light and variable breezes overnight, 43 sailing teams started the 2022 Ida Lewis Distance Race on Friday, August 19 and returned throughout the day Saturday, August 20 to complete the event’s 17th edition. The wind conditions wound up ranging from 8-10 knots at the start to high teens and 20s out near Block Island to nearly nothing at points near the finish, making this one of the trickiest races in recent memory. First to finish under cover of darkness at 4:01 a.m. was Brian Cunha’s (Newport, R.I.) Kerr 55 Irie 2, which won both the Lois J. Muessel Memorial Trophy for best elapsed time and the Lime Rock Trophy for best corrected time among the PHRF Coronet Class’s 12 entries. The performance also garnered Irie 2 overall honors for the entire PHRF division, comprised additionally of a PHRF Aloha Class, with 11 boats, and a Double Handed class, with 14 boats. An ORC class, with six boats, also competed.

Another early entrant on the books! Bill Kneller and his trusty vessel Vento Solare are back and ready to rock the Ida Lewis Distance Race for the tenth time! And that's not all - after winning the Youth Crew Award in 2022, Bill's got his sights set on entering a fresh batch of young guns for this year's race. Who will make the cut? Only time will tell, but rest assured Bill's working with youth sailing mentor, Joe Cooper, to find the perfect crew to take on the big race. Get ready to cheer on Vento Solare and their outstanding youth crew! 🏆⛵️ #YouthSailing #IdaLewisRegatta #VentoSolare #HighSeasAdventure #TenthTimeIsTheCharm

We've got a fresh face joining the ranks for the Ida Lewis Distance Race - give it up for StoweAway! Sailing up from the Chesapeake for the race, this boat's ready to show New England sailors what they're made of in their first ever #ILDR. Skipper Steven Director's leading the charge, and he's so excited to be taking on a race that's both thrilling and challenging. As Steven puts it, "it’s long enough to be very challenging given the variables of weather and sea conditions, and short enough that allows novices and inexperienced crew to enjoy themselves." Let's give StoweAway a warm welcome! ⛵️🌊 #NewEnglandSailing #FirstTimers #ChallengeAccepted #ILDR2023 #ChesapeakeBay

PRESS RELEASE - CHECK OUT WHAT'S NEW!
Ida Lewis Distance Race Plans Modifications,
Welcomes Return of Presenting Sponsor Bluenose Yacht Sales “Ida Lewis Yacht Club will host the 19th sailing of the Ida Lewis Distance Race, one of New England’s most popular overnight offshore races, from Thursday, August 17 through Saturday, August 19 with help from Bluenose Yacht Sales, which returns for a third year as Presenting Sponsor. The round-trip adventure starts and finishes off Newport, R.I. and this year promises tighter competition for its ever-growing fleet with more courses to ensure that every team sails for approximately 24 hours. (Classes start between 11:00 and 11:30 a.m. on Friday.) “The plan is to add more PHRF and ORC classes for narrower rating bands in each,” said Race Chair Anselm Richards. “As well, we will add course options so that the resulting groups of boats, no matter how fast or slow, will look to finish the race at or near the 24-hour mark on Saturday.”
Richards explained that in the past, PHRF has been split into Aloha (rating band 55 and higher) and Coronet (54 and lower) classes. ORC typically has sailed as one class, as has the Double-Handed Division. (A Mixed Gender Two-Person class as well as Youth and Collegiate challenges are also included in the event.) Before the event, the Race Committee chooses the best course for each class based on expected weather conditions. Traditionally, those courses have been between 112 and 169 nautical miles in length and cover the storied sailing grounds of Narragansett Bay and Block Island Sound, reaching as far as Montauk, N.Y. when necessary.” Check out the full press release on our Facebook page as well as www.ILYC.org/distancerace #ildr #idalewisdistancerace #idalewis #idalewisyachtclub #theoceanstate #newportsailing #sailinginnewport #narragansettbay #newportharbor #newportri #sailnewport #regattalife

There’s something to be said about suffering with company. 28ish hours and 200ish miles later: sailboat racing transcends getting shitfaced in Newport. #idalewisdistancerace

Rough seas during the #iddr race. Newport to buzzards bay light(marthas vineyard area), to other side of block island and back in reverse. It was insanely fun. 121 miles in 18 hours, 4-6 foot rollers, and 15-30 knot winds.
