Information

Few cities in the world are as closely linked to the sport of sailing as the east coast United States city of Newport, Rhode Island.

Founded in 1639, Newport is situated amongst the beautiful scenery on Narragansett Bay – New England’s largest estuary – and is also bordered by the Rhode Island Sound and the Sakonnet River.

The city is renowned for its quaint colonial and New England architecture, its thriving waterfront with restaurants, bistros, art galleries and boutiques and its warm hospitality.

Newport has also evolved into a world-class sailing venue that regularly attracts the world’s best sailors and plays host to the sport’s top tier competitions, such as the America’s Cup. Today it is also the home of the 11th Hour Racing Team.

The first Newport stopover in The Ocean Race was hosted by Sail Newport during the 2014–15 edition and the fleet returned again for the 2017–18 race, making the 2022–23 Newport stop the city’s third consecutive participation in the around-the-world race.

The Ocean Race event had a wide-ranging economic and tourism impact on the community. The 2015 stopover generated an estimated $47.7 million to the Ocean State’s economy. Both previous visits of The Ocean Race to Sail Newport drew large visitor numbers, with over 137,000 people in the race village at Fort Adams in 2015 and over 100,000 in 2018.

The 2015 stopover in Newport marked the birth of the sustainability programme for The Ocean Race, an initiative that subsequently expanded to all stopovers in the 2017–18 edition, in collaboration with 11th Hour Racing, the founding partner of the programme.

From the sailors’ perspective the Newport stopover is a chance for some rest and recuperation while the shore crews prepare their boats for the upcoming potentially gruelling transatlantic passage on Leg 5 from Newport to Aarhus in Denmark.

After starting in Newport, Cole Brauer is first American woman to sail solo nonstop around world

On Thursday, Cole Brauer made history, becoming the first American woman to sail solo nonstop around the world. The 29-year-old from Long Island, New York, celebrated at the finish line in Spain by drinking champagne from her trophy.

Friends, peers and sailing enthusiasts had been cheering Brauer on since last October , when she embarked on her more than four-month journey.

Race organizer Marco Nannini told USA TODAY he started the Global Solo Challenge to "create a platform for sailors like Cole to showcase her skills and move on to a pro sailor career."

While at sea Brauer kept her more than 400,000 Instagram followers updated − and entertained − with videos from onboard First Light. The trip was extremely challenging and physically exhausting, Brauer said in one video from December.

In the post, she describes how frustrated she felt when she had to fix and replace different parts of the boat.

"I don't want you guys to think I'm like Superwoman or something," Brauer said. "Right now I've been feeling just broken," she added, describing how she had to fix the boat's autopilot system after injuring her torso against the side of the boat's hull amid intense waves.

Cole Brauer coming to Newport to talk about solo experience

Sail Newport will be hosting Brauer on May 16 at 5:30 p.m. at the Jane Pickens Theater where guests will be able to meet Brauer and hear about her journey. Sail Newport Executive Director Brad Read will emcee the event. Tickets went on sale Friday and are already sold out, but those interested in attending may register to be on the waitlist.

Who is Cole Brauer?

Brauer is from Long Island and competed for the University of Hawaii sailing team. She went to high school in East Hampton, New York, her university team website says. She was the youngest of more than a dozen sailors, or skippers, in the Global Solo Challenge.

The professional sailor lives in Boothbay, Maine, and during the spring and summer, she can be also found in Newport, gearing up for races, the Newport Daily News  reported last year .

Brauer has sailed on First Light, a 40-foot yacht, for over five years, the outlet reported.

"I always said I wanted to race around the world in this boat," she told the Daily News.

From above and below First Light's deck, Brauer shared aspects of her journey with followers and die-hard sailing fans.

On New Year's Eve, she donned a dress and  danced at midnight , and in another post, she  showed off  how many pull-ups she can do.

As the only woman racing solo, nonstop around the world in the first Global Solo Challenge, Brauer said she was determined to prove there's nothing women and girls cannot accomplish.

"I push so much harder when someone's like, 'No, you can't do that,'" Brauer  told NBC Nightly News . "And I'm like, 'OK, watch me.'"

Brauer is the first American woman to sail solo around the world. But Kay Cottee of Australia was the first woman in the world to accomplish the milestone, sailing off from Sydney Harbor in Australia in November 1987 and returning 189 days later.

On her profile page on the Global Solo Challenge website, Brauer said she wanted to send a message to the sailing community that it's time to leave its male-dominated culture in the past. In the profile, Brauer took aim at a lack of equal pay and what she describes as harassment in the sailing industry.

"Just as well as this community has built me up it has broken me and my fellow female teammates down. I am doing this race for them," Brauer said.

Brauer and her spokesperson did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

How long was Cole Brauer at sea?

Brauer was sailing for over four months after departing on Oct. 29.

She finished second in the race, behind a sailor who departed about a month before she did.

The start times differed because that first place boat, Phillipe Delamare's Mowgli, is much slower, Nannini said, explaining the race's staggered start times.

"The format means that if you enter on a slow, small boat you can still win, which makes it much more inclusive than an event where a bigger budget is a definite advantage," he said.

France's Delamare will win first-place prize money of 7,500 euros (about $8,140), Brauer will win 5,000 euros (about $5,430) and the third place finisher will win 2,500 euros (about $2,710), Nannini said.

How dangerous was Cole Brauer's sailing race?

A medical team including a nurse and a physician trained Brauer and sent her on her journey with medicines and medical supplies, in case of any health issues, according to her Instagram account.

Early in the race, Brauer administered her own IV with a saline solution after she became dehydrated, according to one video posted to her social media.

Brauer's most serious health scare happened in early December when she said gnarly ocean conditions caused the boat to jolt, throwing her across the inside of the boat and slamming her hard against a wall.

Her ribs were badly bruised as a result, and her medical team told her to alternate between taking Advil and Tylenol, Brauer said on Instagram.

"Rigging up a sleeping seat belt has been added to my priority list," she said in the post's caption. "I know I'm very lucky that this wasn't a lot worse."

What is the Global Solo Challenge?

The inaugural Global Solo Challenge is a nonstop sailing race in which competitors departed last year from A Coruña, Spain.

The race encompasses nearly 30,000 miles and takes place mostly in the southern hemisphere.

After leaving waters off the coast of Spain, sailors travel south and around Africa's Cape of Good Hope. The race then includes the two other capes that together make up the famous three great capes: Australia's Cape Leeuwin and South America's Cape Horn.

About half of the other competitors dropped out of the race, according to racing data posted online by the Global Solo Challenge.

Delamare finished the race late last month after embarking on his journey in late September 2023, according to race data.

2024 Frostbite

Frostbite starts 1 January at the Newport Yacht Club. After 1/1 we will race every Sunday through April 14 excluding Easter Sunday on 31 March. We most often have 3 classes, depending on the number of competitors that show up on any given Sunday. We start setting up the boats, classes and course at 1130. Position from the previous weeks racing determines the class splits. The armchair sailors in the bar get the preferred bleacher seats.

COVID-19 and 2024 racing

Hopefully this finds you safe and healthy. If it becomes necessary, COVID requirements will be in place as directed by the officers of NYC and the state of RI. We anticipate a “normal” frostbite season and welcome sailors to use the clubhouse and Main Deck. Please, if you are not feeling well, have been experiencing any cold and flu like symptoms, please stay home. It’s only a sail boat race and not worth the risk to your fellow competitors.

NYC Member: $150.00 NYC Junior Member: $75 Non-Member Newport Resident: $200 Non-Member/Non-Resident: $225 Non-Member Junior (14-17):  $75  (must be 14 as of January 1 or with Frostbite Committee approval)

We are an informal, enthusiastic, sailing group and do our best to run as many races as possible with safety and sportsmanship our priority. We have a 20/20 rule that we do not sail if under 20 degrees or if it is blowing 20 and above – they are after all, only 10’ dinghies and that water is cold!

Frostbiting is Fun! Bea Grimmitt, Chair Mary Ann Jencks Caryn Cummings

By The Museum of Newport Irish History

The Museum of Newport Irish History announces the fifth and final presentation of its 22nd Annual Lecture Series, to be presented at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, March 20, at the Wyndham Newport Hotel, 240 Aquidneck Avenue, Middletown, and live-streamed via Zoom. The lecture is made possible by a generous gift from Frank Furtado, given in memory of his wife, Barbara Carr Furtado.

Guest speaker Steve Marino will present an illustrated talk titled:  “The Great Cutter Race of 1905: An Irish Tale of Gilded Age Newport .” Steve will tell the tale of the 4-mile rowing race in Newport Harbor that pitted the members of the recently established Hibernia Racing Club of Newport against the champion cutter racing crew of the U.S. Navy’s Atlantic Squadron, assigned to the USS  Kearsarge.  Racing cutters became popular in Newport Harbor during the Gilded Age, and thousands of Newport’s citizens, Navy sailors, tourists, workers, and gamblers assembled to watch these 12-man boats compete. The August 1905 challenge race remains legendary.

Doors open at 5:30 p.m., and complimentary light hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar will be available. Reservations are required for both in-person and Zoom participation. A $5 fee/donation to attend in person is payable at the door (no fee to Zoom). Those who join the Museum to attend the talk will have the $5 fee waived. For a complete talk overview, speaker bio, and links to reserve, please visit the “Lectures” page at  www.NewportIrishHistory.org . For more information or assistance with reservations or memberships, please write  [email protected]  or phone Ann Arnold at (401) 841-5493.

Note:  “Cutters” of the late 19 th  and early 20 th  century were not regular row boats nor Irish currach s. Cutters were common accessory vessels to Navy ships of the era and were used to move personnel from place to place. These wooden boats could accommodate twelve rowers and a coxswain. Racing cutters became a popular activity in Newport Harbor during the Gilded Age
