SMALL BOATS

Such as coastal racers, sea kayaks, etc. are welcome in 2026. Because this is a challenging course, participants must submit a qualifying result from a similar race (e.g., Blackburn, Snow Row) to the Program Director prior to registering. For questions, contact Frank Townsend at [email protected] or 413-695-7369.

LOGISTICS

For larger boats that can not be shouldered, CMI has reserved 6-7 parking spots so that you launch from the Cohasset Harbor boat ramp at 40 Parker Avenue (CMI’s Boathouse & HQ).

Trailers won’t be allowed on the beach, so we will be hand-carrying the smaller boats or bring your rollers for pushing the boats down the long beach to the water

All boats must meet with the safety check team on Sandy Beach (or at Parker Avenue) prior to collecting their boat number. Each boat must have a tethered bailer or working pump, and compass. Sufficient PFDs for all on board. Each participant must carry or wear a USCG-approved PFD (life jacket), and each participant must carry an attention-getting noisemaker, such as a whistle on a lanyard or a horn. Please bring a waterproof bag for course map.
