Both the Hall of Fame Open and 11th Hour Racing are based in the beautiful coastal town of Newport, Rhode Island. As such, a key focus of the partnership will be proactive efforts to communicate with tournament fans, players, and volunteers about what sustainable personal behaviors individuals can implement at the event and at home to make a long-term positive impact on ocean health.
