The Mayflower comes to Mystic for a Refit:
The historic ship Mayflower II is has arrived at Mystic Seaport from her home port of Plymouth MA. Following an intensive survey, she will undergo the first phase of a multi-year restoration in the Museum's Henry B. duPont Preservation Shipyard.
The Mayflower II is a replica of the original Mayflower that transported the Pilgrims to Massachusetts in 1620. The replica was built in the  United Kingdom and sailed to the United States in 1957 and is owned by Plimoth Plantation. The restoration of the 57-year-old wooden ship will be carried out over several years with the ship spending winter and spring at Mystic Seaport and returning to Plymouth each summer and fall. The project is scheduled for completion prior to 2020: the 400th anniversary of the Pilgrims' arrival. See the Mystic Seaport website HERE

The Americas Cup is Coming to BERMUDA !!
The next America's Cup will be raced in Bermuda in June of 2017. The host venue was confirmed at a press conference in New York on Tuesday, 12/2, by Harvey Schiller, the Commercial Commissioner for the America's Cup. "In Bermuda we have a perfect international  venue to demonstrate the excitement America's Cup boats and teams can generate," Schiller said. "The sailing conditions are near perfect. The race course on The Great Sound is a natural amphitheater with room for racing and spectators, amid a spectacular backdrop of islands and beaches. And the proposed America's Cup Village at the Royal Naval Dockyard will be the heart of the event for the teams and fans alike.
"The 2017 America's Cup will build on the successful elements that now define the event - close racing in fast, foiling catamarans crewed by the very best sailors in the world and delivered to an international audience by award-winning broadcasters."
