The Ida Lewis Yacht Club’s annual Distance Race has a unique format—an overnighter on a racecourse chosen to match the weather conditions—and it’s become an August fixture on the Southern New England race calendar over the last 19 years. We’re happy to support this special event as a sponsor and from the technical side, helping to predict the speeds of the competitors in the forecast winds so the RC can choose the best course for each class to finish in roughly 24 hours. Conditions were light this year so the courses were shorter, but by all accounts, the fleet enjoyed the challenge once again. 📷 Stephen R. Cloutier

Professional BoatBuilder Magazine published this informative review last month on Project Ouzel, our 95-foot design with Mark Whiteley interior that is well along in its construction at Rockport Marine in Maine. Author Dieter Loibner explains the yacht's "wood composite construction" in the words of builder Sam Temple and includes overall perspective on the yacht's expected qualities from Thomas Degremont here at Langan Design. #yachtdesign #navalarchitecture #yachtbuilding #builtinUSA #projectouzel Marine Construction Management

Partner Tom Degremont walks us through the thinking that goes into sailboats designed for speed without regard to racing and ratings.

Know any students up for a different kind of learning experience? Sixteen Sea|Mester students are on an 80-day voyage from Fiji to Bali aboard the Langan-designed Argo, a 111-foot LOA steel sail-training vessel. They are learning to sail the schooner and to study what they see, including under water, which is a vital part of the trip.

Last Friday, the new starting area for the 2024 Newport Bermuda Race was christened for the first time off Fort Adams in the East Passage. It provided amphitheatre viewing for spectators and a great challenge for the 164 racers, who battled a strong flood tide and light winds out of Narragansett Bay. We enjoyed the view of longtime client Black Watch (white sails) starting in a sea of black, and we were glued to the tracker during the race, as the new scoring system made live updates possible. Among the successful finishers in the drama-filled race were Tom Langan (Bill’s son) on Boudicca, the winner of class 8, Sam Howell's team on Masquerade, 4th in class, and Black Watch, 5th in class. Congratulations to all!

We’re proud to share that our founder BIll Langan has been added to the Bermuda Race Roll of Honour, joining four others in the Class of 2024. Bill competed in his first Newport to Bermuda Race at age 15 and sailed 20 consecutive races. “He was a keen advocate of the race,” Sam Howell says, “and I am positive that if he was still around he would have competed in 25-plus races.” Good luck to this year’s competitors, especially Sam's team on Masquerade!

Project Ouzel (3 of 3 in a series): the deck is making great progress at Rockport Marine. Built out of plywood skins with a foam core, it has local reinforcements, G10 inserts, and fiberglass sheathing for strong and efficient construction. Langan Design Partners, LLC.
