The Newport Bermuda Race covers a lot of territory, even before the start, this year for the second time off Fort Adams. First held in 1906, the race went against the grain of prevailing wisdom, whose tenet was that such a passage in small yachts was insane. To emphasize the insanity, a 20-year-old woman, Thora Lund Robinson, was a crew member aboard the smallest (LOA) entry, Gauntlet. How appropriate.
