A race/cruise called The Atlantic Round was organized in 1978 and became a one-time event. In 1991, an effort to establish more contact with the Home Clubs resulted in the plans for an annual regatta to be held in America every third year and in the off years in one of the Scandinavian countries. This event was named The Atlantic Round in honor of the organizer of the first race/cruise. The first regatta was held in 1993 at the Stamford and Noroton Yacht Clubs. Since then “TAR”, as it has become affectionately known, has become a main stay of the summer season, and the Home Stations use the event as the venue for their annual Commodores meeting both here and abroad.
This year's regatta will be hosted by the Royal Danish Yacht Club (KDY) in Copenhagen, August 27-30th. For the adults. KDY is arranging for visitors to stay in private homes owned by its members. All five
Home Clubs are sending teams. If you want to race in 1/80's or join in any of the activities that KDY event chainnan Henrik Andersen has planned, please email or call David Tunick as soon as possible: dtunick@tunickart.com, 212-570-0090.
