NEWPORT, R.I. (August 17, 2020) \u2013 A total of 65 boats started the 2020\u00a0Ida Lewis Distance Race<\/a>\u00a0presented by\u00a0Jeanneau America<\/a>\u00a0on Saturday, August 15 in a building northeasterly that dished out 20-22 knots of breeze (and a few knock-down gusts) throughout most of the day and into the evening and overnight. By the time racing had finished for two offshore classes (IRC and PHRF Doublehanded) and three inshore classes (PHRF Aloha, PHRF Coronet and PHRF Cruising Spinnaker), 16 boats had retired; however, plenty of teams were left to beam about their accomplishments, each one crossing the finish line in Newport Harbor, near where they started, and receiving \u2013 no matter what the hour \u2013 a congratulatory bottle of Zardetto Prosecco delivered to them on the water by Ida Lewis Yacht Club volunteers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
