To be held every two years, in even years, the race has appeal for those who also do the Marion-Bermuda Race, or wish to prepare for it, as well as yachts returning from the Newport Bermuda Race who wish to cruise in Maine in August. Billed as a race with a wonderful vacation destination, it’s also very convenient and inexpensive for crew transfer. A plus for Marion-Bermuda racers: the best combined scores between the 2009 Marion-Bermuda Race and the 2010 Stonington-to-Boothbay Harbor Race will be awarded the New England Offshore Racing Trophy. Already known by racers as the “Lobster Run,” the event will feature pre-race and post-race dinners and parties, complemented by race beverage sponsor Gosling’s Rums. The race media sponsor is Points East magazine. Online registration will be available. Each yacht will carry a transponder that will allow position reporting which can be followed at iBoattrack.com. The race is a US Sailing sanctioned Category 2 event, with ORR and PHRF spinnaker divisions. New for the 2010 race: a double-handed division has been added, with a lot of interest from the Short-handed Sailing Association (www.short-handed.org). The Principal Race Officer is John Bonds, former head of the US Naval Academy sailing squadron and former executive director of US Sailing. The start is off Stonington, Connecticut. Competitors will round the Nantucket Shoals buoys and finish at Boothbay Harbor, Maine. The course length is 332 nautical miles. It will be a “navigator’s race,” with a choice of passing to the north or south of Block Island, and a similar decision with regard to Squirrel Island near the finish.

This major two-day Gulf of Maine Ocean Racing Association (GMORA) sanctioned event is open to all boats. The fleet will be divided into PHRF Classes along the class breaks advocated by GMORA. 
The race is intended for boats with a traditional full-keel design (whether old or new) and/or heavy cruising boats 25 years or older. It is assumed that these are family boats with an inboard or outboard motor. However, no boat will be excluded from the race.
