KRYS Ocean Race Fleet Arrives at Dennis Conner's North Cove
The KRYS Ocean Race fleet of five Multihull One-Design trimarans arrived in New
York City on July 3, just in time for the Fourth of July celebrations. They are
docked at Dennis Conner's North Cove.
Today, the fleet will do speed matches in the harbor from 3 to 5 p.m. Then the
boats will return to dock where you can walk by this evening and tomorrow to see
these incredible machines. To get a feeling of their size, look at the picture
above and see the two small sailboats sailing among the trimarans. Those small
boats are J/24s!
The big event will be Saturday when the KRYS Ocean Race starts at 11 a.m. The start
will occur right off Lower Manhattan and the boats will round a buoy directly in
front of North Cove before heading out across the Atlantic Ocean! This will be
the first trans-Atlantic race between New York City and France. In sailing, this
is about as extreme as you can get. Incredible stuff right here in New York City!
