Bermuda Seagull Race Chaos and Records | Bermuda News

The Bermuda Seagull Race exploded into chaos and glory this past Saturday, with 59 boats setting a new record fleet—but conditions were brutal: choppy seas, seaweed, and fierce winds. Only 36 boats finished, 14 didn’t make it, and one took a shortcut. Meanwhile, Brian Lightbourn just chilled on his boat, “The Picnic Table.” Two course records were obliterated: “One More for the Road” crushed the Sport Cruisin’ G2 class in 2 hours 55 minutes, while Stephen Seagull smashed the small-engine benchmark in 8 hours 41 minutes. Happy Henderson and Nigel Pollard made history foiling around the island. The finish was nail-biting—“One More for the Road” edged out Team Bermuda by seconds, and Jared Souza on POPS won a one-second thriller over Leon Simmons. The biggest drama? Captain Corry Kowalchuk on Her zoomed between Dockyard and a massive cruise ship, ignoring dockworkers, all to stay ahead. Pure adrenaline, broken records, and questionable moves—this race went down in the books. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
