Florida's oldest sporting event afloat, commemorating a small boat cruise made in 1492

Our sponsors play an important part in preparations and continuing the long tradition of the regatta. We are always looking for new sponsors for the Columbus Day Regatta, or the return of past sponsors from years gone by! Contact the Committee Chairperson for more information on establishing a mutually beneficial partnership.

Gosling's Black Seal® and Gold Rums are brought to you by Rinear Thatcher of Castle Brands Inc.  Check out their website at www.goslingsrum.com, and be sure to thank them at the Skippers Meeting and the Awards Party.

Over the years Black Seal® Rum has become synonymous with Bermuda. It is an essential ingredient in Bermuda fish chowder, adds the island flavor to the Bermuda Rum Swizzle, and is the tempest in Bermuda's favorite cocktail, the Dark 'n Stormy®.

A family business for nearly two centuries, Gosling's is Bermuda's oldest business house, and is the largest exporter of a Bermuda-made product.
 

Gosling's Black Seal® Rum - "The Spirit of Bermuda."

Gosling Brothers Ltd. imported its first barrels of Caribbean rum into Bermuda in 1860. Numerous different blends were tried until one was formulated and deemed ideal. It wasn't until many years later that Gosling Brothers adopted the image of the barrel juggling "black seal" on its labels. To this day, Gosling's Black Seal® Rum is created according to the original family recipe from a premium blend of three-year old rums.

A big "Thank you!" to Lightning Printing, the Mutiny Hotel and Bremen Sails, supporters of the 2007 Columbus Day Regatta.
