Transat Bakery boat Race Plymouth to New York 2016. Leaving Plymouth Part 1
The Transat Bakerly Boat Race is a prestigious solo sailing race that spans the vast expanse of the North Atlantic Ocean. It charts a course from Plymouth, located on the south coast of Devon, England, to the bustling metropolis of New York City. This grueling 3,050-nautical mile journey tests the mettle of the world’s finest single-handed sailors, pushing them to their limits1. In 2016, after an eight-year hiatus, the Transat Bakerly race returned, attracting a fleet of 30 boats across four different classes. The skippers embarked on this epic voyage, braving unpredictable weather conditions and navigating the open ocean. The fastest boats were expected to reach New York in just eight days2. The race commenced with great fanfare in Plymouth, where spectators gathered to witness the departure of the intrepid sailors. The fleet set sail on May 2nd, embarking on one of the most challenging solo sailing races in the world. The journey would take them across the vastness of the Atlantic, with the iconic skyline of New York City as their ultimate destination3. As the boats sliced through the waves, the solo sailors battled solitude, fatigue, and the elements. Their determination and skill were put to the test as they navigated the open sea, relying solely on their own expertise and resilience. The Transat Bakerly Boat Race is a true testament to human endurance and the indomitable spirit of adventure on the high seas1. For those who followed the race, it was a thrilling spectacle—a convergence of human ambition and the raw power of nature. As the boats approached the New York harbor, the anticipation grew. The finish line awaited them, marking the end of an arduous journey and the fulfillment of a dream. And so, against the backdrop of the city that never sleeps, the Transat Bakerly Boat Race reached its triumphant conclusion4.
