Bermuda’s annual Non-Mariners Race took place at Mangrove Bay in Sandys Parish. As the story goes, decades ago a group of drinking buddies, for some unknown reason, debated the flotation properties of baby carriages, and a few days later ended up attempting to sail a baby carriage from Albuoy’s Point to Whites Island.
This unsuccessful boating attempt is said to be the start of the Non-Mariners Race. The race grew in popularity and was initially held in Hamilton Harbour, but was eventually booted from the city after an entry sank in the main channel a few hours before a cruise ship was due to arrive.
