If anyone asked my advice I would tell them that the New York Yacht Club should have Bruno Trouble, Louis Vuitton organize the parties for the re-union in September.
If you attended the party in Cowes during the Jubilee, you would understand why. The best sailing event party I have ever attended.
Go to the New York Yacht Club site or click on the link to read about the reunion. I would very much like to hear from anyone who sailed and may have stories and/or photos they might be willing to share.
peter becker and stan scheryer have left Baltimore for New York in preparation for the record attempt (actually one of the two boats will set the record) between New York and Barcelona, sailing IMOCA 60’s
very exciting
In September of this year there will be a re-union of the 12 meter crews from the years 1958-1987 . Columbia (US 16 through USA US 61)
The New York Yacht Club lost the America’s Cup 26 years ago this September. Change is always troubling for anyone. I have always regarded this event as: the right thing happened for all the wrong reasons.
A rainy day in Newport,for the awarding of prizes for the 12 meter world championship as well as the north american championship. The final day of the” legends” forum. full of recognizable faces of those who have contributed not only to the America’s cup but sailing as a whole.
Invited out on Jimmy Gubelmann’s lovely Huckins “Mahubas” to watch the final day of racing for the swan 42 club boats. 19 countries represented. close sailing; the NYYC entry Phil Lotz won by sailing very consistently.
Today I sailed the Queen’s Cup, a race with no time limit usually sailed the second day of the New York Yacht Club’s annual cruise.
How do you spell FUN? Team racing in Sonars. The level of competition has ratcheted up over the seasons, making it very physically and mentally demanding. Consequently it really emphasizes the team in all aspects of sailing the boat around the course. Leaves you looking for more.
In July, I raced on J-109 belonging to Peter Rugg.I had previously written about the exciting Sunday, our final day of the regatta. The forecast was for intense thunderstorms. we managed racing in the morning, when powerful clouds appeared over Pt. Judith; the race committee chose to start a race, anyway. I was too busy on the boat to get photographs. These are from a boat that was nearby; caught by the same storm.
