Colbert Wins The Reefs' Challenge

Last month, David Dodwell challenged comedian Stephen Colbert to beat his (less-than-impressive) ranking in the previous Charleston Bermuda Race in this year’s much-anticipated sailing event.

Colbert accepted the challenge, and won. In fact, Colbert and his crew almost took 1st place in the biennial sailing race across the Atlantic Ocean.

It was a close finish between Colbert’s vessel, The Spirit of Juno, and the Tucana. In the end, after 777 miles, The Spirit of Juno couldn’t gather enough speed to catch Tucana.

The impressive 2nd place standing earned Colbert bragging rights, as the “second greatest sailor in the world,” and a stay in one of The Reefs’ spacious Club Suites.

Colbert collected from David Dodwell on the challenge upon arriving in Bermuda. After a grueling week at sea, The Reefs was an ideal spot for Colbert to enjoy some much-needed “R&R” with his family.

Congratulations Stephen and the crew of The Spirit of Juno on a great race! We hope to welcome you all back soon!
