Team EYC at the Baldwin Cup |
|
|
Team EYC kicked off its team racing season last weekend at the Baldwin Cup, hosted by Newport Harbor Yacht Club in Newport Beach, CA. Team captain and skipper Clinton Hayes recapped the event below:
“Team EYC traveled to the Baldwin Cup Team Race at Newport Harbor YC. Although Orange County is known for sunshine and consistent light breeze, we experienced unseasonably cold weather with everything from 0 - 15+ knots. If you've never been to the Baldwin, put it on your bucket list! Sailed in Harbor 20s in a 4v4 format, NHYC goes all out pulling over 50 mooring balls for true stadium sailing right in front of the club. On the water, the racing was fierce, 2nd only to the Morgan Cup in terms of level of competition. Off the water, the Baldwin ranks #1 with their famous 25 cent beers and sponsors JP Morgan, Patron, Bacardi, Hinckley, and more. Honestly, this event sets the bar with what's possible turning sailing into a true spectator sport with at least 200 people watching the finals happening right off the dock. Live commentary, good food and drink, not to mention free tiki boat rides to spectate even closer, what's not to love? The Harbor 20 is a fickle boat that takes some time to learn. Only experienced CA based teams made the top four while EYC battled it out in silver fleet. Needless to say, we'll be back for more!”
The team this year was Clinton Hayes, Bill Lynn, Peter Lynn, and Kyle Easton on the helm, with Ledyard McFadden, Lily Lichtenstein, Daan Goedkoop, and Annabelle Ayer crewing. Keep an eye out for more team racing opportunities throughout 2023 on the sailing calendar! |

Sailing World Race Week San Diego
|
|

Congratulations to EYC member Charlie Welsh and his crew on winning the VX One class at Sailing World Race Week San Diego. With their win the team secured a berth at the Sailing World BVI Championship Regatta. Charlie’s event recap is below: |
| |
|
“Was a great event all around. It was the first VX one event on the west coast so it was exciting to capture the win. There were five boats in the class of similar talent so it created a high intensity event. To secure the win we relied on our team’s ability to develop passing opportunities on the down wind.” |

Join Team EYC in its defense of the Commodore’s Cup! This contentious and long-running sonar team racing battle between the three Marblehead clubs took on a new format last year when it was run on a Friday afternoon. The RC was able to get going at 3pm and still get in a full double round robin and finals before sunset, while the competitors got to keep their weekend plans. This year’s event will be the afternoon of Friday, June 30. Sign up to race on the Sailing Calendar. If you are interested in being the team captain for the event, send an email to Clinton Hayes or Hannah Lynn.
