The 2024 Rum Challenge was a huge success, with a record 50 boats competing and perfect sailing weather. The Naval Academy added polish and experience that moved the event up a couple of notches. A wonderful party afterward with much-anticipated Gosling dark and stormies and a delicious spread was the icing on the cake for a good day of racing.
