Vendée Liberty

24 May 2024 

At 11am, the starting line for the speed runs opened and the first group set off on the one nautical mile course in Manhattan Bay. Four pools followed each other until 3.30pm, when the line closed. 
The aim was to put on a show, send the counters into a frenzy and thrill the guests on board and the spectators! This breathtaking exhibition race was visible from Governors Island to the general public.
