Star Inspection

EYC Members at the Star Worlds

We all know the Star Class World Championship 100th Anniversary Regatta presented by Bacardi is happening now at the EYC (and huge thanks to everyone who has committed to volunteer or provide housing, boats, moorings, etc.), but did you know some of EYC's very own elite sailors will be competing in this, one of the most competitive events on the world sailing scene? If you don’t have a chance to get on the water, you can follow the results here, and keep an eye out for EYC members Jim Da Silva, Tomas Hornos, Will Hundahl, Remi Hutchins, and Jud Smith. 

Check out a recent media clip here from MHTV - Marblehead TV.  

Star Class Photos Around the Club

When you are at the Club, be sure to look around to see the photographs that the Star Class has loaned us from previous Star World Regattas.  Each is marked with a gold star to help identify them. Stop by and take a look.  We hope you enjoy them! 

Team EYC at the Resolute Cup

Team EYC will compete in its 6th Resolute Cup next week, September 14th - 17th, at New York Yacht Club in Newport, in an attempt to qualify for the American berth in the 2023 Rolex NYYC Invitational Cup.

EYC won this event in 2010 with the team of Bill Lynn, Alden Reid, Peter Lynn, and Rick Myers, and has gotten onto the podium almost every year since. This year’s team consists of Clinton Hayes (helm), Alden Reid (tactician), Alex Cook, and Hannah Lynn. The New York Yacht Club does an excellent job with media for these events, so you can follow along with photos, updates, live streams, and results on the NYYC Regattas Facebook page.

Arey's Pond Cat Gathering

On Saturday, August 20th, Wendy and Hannah Frisch, wife and daughter of Vice Commodore Peter Frisch, raced in the 30th Annual Arey’s Pond Cat Gathering in Orleans, MA.  The mother-daughter team sailed an 18 foot Baybird in the primarily catboat race.

The race began in Little Pleasant Bay, sailed through the aptly-named Narrows into Pleasant Bay, rounded three marks and finished.  Wendy and Hannah claimed victory in the Baybird division, beating the second place finisher by over two minutes.  96 boats participated.

College Sailing Kicks Off the Fall Season

EYC sailors are making their mark on Tulane University's sailing team. Junior Abi Borggaard (Crew), who was part of last year's ICSA National Champion team, has been joined by Freshmen Cate Anderson (Crew) and Ashley Hoguet (Skipper).  We look forward to following their accomplishments and wish them success in the season ahead.
