Maine's oldest offshore overnight race was started in 1928 by Hal Moore and has attracted some of the best US sailors to compete in the Gulf of Maine waters. With five courses of different lengths and levels of competition there is a place for every sailor to experience this unique event.

This is the largest overnight race on the Maine coast, regularly drawing 40+ boats. The Thursday Night Race and immediately following cocktail party with live entertainment and dinner kicks off the event.  The race starts Friday afternoon in Casco Bay and finishes near the scenic Portland Head Light.  A wonderful pancake breakfast and awards party awaits the competitors on Sunday morning upon their return from the sea.
