After nearly four days at sea and 636 miles of open-ocean racing, Thames Yacht Club sailors Eric O’Sullivan and Stu Caplan, along with the crew of Xcellent, delivered an outstanding performance in the 2026 Newport Bermuda Race, finishing second in their division against a fleet of 12 boats.
Xcellent crossed the finish line in Bermuda in 3 days, 22 hours, 39 minutes, and 36 seconds and posted a corrected time of 2 days, 8 hours, 14 minutes, and 49 seconds—missing first place by 6 minutes.
The impressive result placed Xcellent second in its division, 20th overall and 44th to cross the finish line.
For O’Sullivan, the result of years of planning and training paid off in his first Newport Bermuda race. For Caplan, making his fifth crossing to Bermuda, the race added another memorable chapter to his offshore sailing career.
Back home, Thames Yacht Club members closely followed Xcellent’s progress across the ocean, cheering on the crew as they tackled the Gulf Stream, changing weather conditions, and the challenges of offshore racing.
“Finishing second in such a competitive field is a remarkable accomplishment and a testament to the skill, preparation, and determination of the entire Xcellent crew.,” said TYC Commodore Colin Redhead. “Their success has given TYC plenty to celebrate and serves as an inspiration to sailors who dream of one day taking on the iconic race to Bermuda.”
Well done, Xcellent!

Please remove your winter marks in a timely manner, They can generate a wicked smell and are rather unsightly ! We suggest you bring a large trash bag when you come to pick them up.

This is an example of what a gallery post looks like. It adds a full-screen slideshow at the top of your site. You can have text, call to action button, custom colors or just leave it blank. It’s all up to you.
The slides are set up in the “slides” section of the site and organized into groups. You then pick a group for your gallery and that’s it. Pretty simple. And, the results are truly spectacular.
If you wanted, you can even have a gallery of videos for your slides. That’s another option. Lots of flexibility built in here.
