Hi Kirk,
Try this link: www.yarmouthcapecod.com or www.capecodchamber.org

The race will be best viewed from any one of the beaches from Smugglers beach down toward the Red Jacket Resort.

ttt :drink:

Re: Cape Cod Itinerary
 

anyone know if its worth being out in the spectator fleet - could you get close enough to see anything last year?

Re: Cape Cod Itinerary
 

Hi Chris,

There will be designated areas for spectator boats. There shouldn't be any trouble seeing the action. I'm going to make sure!! :D
They will probably have viewing on the outside leg from about mid course down to turn 3. This is my guess but is probably what will be the case.

Re: Cape Cod Itinerary
 

Tom,

how long of a ride from here (Jersey)??..leaving Friday am..just wanna have an idea..

Marty

Re: Cape Cod Itinerary
 

Do any of the hotels have beaches that you can watch the race from? Thanks

Kirk

Re: Cape Cod Itinerary
 

Hi Marty,
On a good day with no traffic, I can make Brick from my house in Harwich in just under 5hrs. Thats running in the very early morning hours.
What we have started doing when we head out to go racing is leaving the house 1:30 and 2AM , this allows us to avoid any traffic.
Your biggest challenge in regards to traffic is getting past NYC, after that it's not to bad....except the occasional slow down on Rt.95 in CT!!

Re: Cape Cod Itinerary
 

Kirk,
Yes, there are Hotels with Beaches that you could watch the race from. There is the Best Western Blue Water Resort or the Surf & Sand both on South Shore Drive.

Re: Cape Cod Itinerary
 

thanks Tom..see you guys in a couple weeks!

Re: Cape Cod Itinerary
 

Thanks Tom, I'm looking forward to the trip. I hope the weather cooperates.
