I was interested to see a special chart that had Newport at the top, Bermuda at the bottom, and north off toward the side.

The Newport-Bermuda Race, scheduled to begin on June 19, was cancelled at the end of March. The Annapolis-Bermuda Race (which now has a celestial class) was cancelled about two weeks later. Locally, here in Rhode Island, these are small fry compared to the giant music festivals usually held in August which have also been cancelled. It's going to be a quiet summer. Any other sailing events, races, boating trade shows, gatherings cancelled (officially!) that we can add to the list?
Outside the nautical world, but closely allied to the traditional, do-it-yourself ethos of NavList, I see that "EAA AirVenture Oshkosh" which was scheduled for the last week of July has been officially cancelled.
