McMichael Yacht Yards and
Brokers Becomes 2020 Bermuda Race Sponsor
McMichael
Yacht Yards and Brokers has signed an agreement with the Bermuda Race
Organizing Committee to be an Official Sponsor of the 2020 Newport
Bermuda Race, bringing with it three generations of accumulated
offshore and race-prep experience to support the fleet.
McMichael Yacht Yards and Brokers’ relationship with the bi-annual race
goes back over 80 years to when the company began operations in 1935.
Ever since, McMichael has helped sailors find the new or pre-owned boat
they’ve sailed in the race as well as provided the race preparation
services necessary to get to Bermuda—and on the podium. For the 2020
edition of the “Thrash to the Onion Patch,” McMichael has formalized
its relationship with the Race by becoming an official sponsor.
“The Newport Bermuda Race has been a part of our lives at McMichael for
three generations, both personally as sailors and professionally with
the boats we prepared to compete,” said Steven Leicht, President of
McMichael Yacht Yards and Brokers. “Becoming a Newport Bermuda Race
sponsor allows us to share with sailors our specific knowledge of this
race and what it takes to prepare a boat and crew.” Jay Gowell, the
2020 Newport Bermuda Race Chairman, said, “Having McMichael Yacht Yards
& Brokers as a sponsor of the Newport Bermuda Race enhances the
prestige of the Race. Here we have the partnering of a classic yachting
company with a classic yacht race.”
A customer’s relationship with McMichael starts with the purchase of a
new or pre-owned boat and continues as they return to McMichael to
maintain, repair, and store their boat. This exceptional service and
professionalism have enabled McMichael to become an industry leader.
With two full-service yards in Mamaroneck, NY, McMichael performs
Newport Bermuda Race preparation ranging from applying custom racing
bottoms and installing state-of-the-art instruments to servicing
standing and running rigging and weighing boats for rating certificates.
A third-generation, family-run business, McMichael Yacht Yards &
Brokers has represented J Boats and MJM Yachts from their beginnings,
is a regional dealer for Hanse and Dehler Yachts, and is the U.S.
dealer for the Amel line of luxury passagemakers (excluding the west
coast). McMichael has sales offices in Mamaroneck, NY, Huntington, NY,
and Newport, RI. The two yards have teams of riggers, fiberglass
experts, and electronics specialists plus factory-trained and certified
technicians servicing Volvo-Penta, Yamaha, and Yanmar engines.
