Covering 1,008 nautical miles offshore and being the only race to sail around both major east coast capes (Cape Hatteras and Cape Cod), the Atlantic Cup is the longest offshore sailboat race in the western Atlantic and the toughest offshore race in the United States. Teams of two will race from Charleston to New York City. After a brief stopover in New York, teams will race a second leg to Portland, Maine where the race will culminate the weekend of June 10^th with a two-day inshore series on Casco Bay
