The Bermuda Offshore Cruising Association has been in existence since 1958 (although not officially named until some time later) when several of Bermuda’s intrepid yachtsmen decided to race their wooden craft, some of which had open cockpits, from St. Georges to the Texas Tower which was located on Argus Bank approximately 22 nautical miles SW of Bermuda. The tower has since been removed as a navigation hazard but the Argus Bank and neighbouring Challenger Bank remain a popular spot for the islands fishermen.
