Team EYC 4th at the Jackson Cup |
|
|
Team EYC kicked off the local Team Race season against a competitive field at Boston Yacht Club for the Jackson Cup, held April 29 - 30. The team consisted of Spencer Powers, John Boyle, Commodore Peter Frisch, Camille Homa, Alex Cook, Jim DaSilva, Ian McLaughlin, Ashley Boyle, Matt Hooks, Mike Kanare, Rob Pascal, and Nicolas Regnault. Led by team captain Ashley Boyle, team Eastern was looking forward to a competitive and fun weekend of racing. Due to the impending forecast, after completing a puffy ENE first round-robin, the Race Committee decided to forgo a second round-robin and move straight to a Final 4 Knock Out for the Championship. Congratulations to New York Yacht Club, and thank you to our neighbors at the BYC! Recap by Team EYC skipper Alex Cook |

Team EYC has been invited to the National Women’s Invitational Team Race for the Thayer Trophy at CYC. The event will take place June 24 - 25, and has proven to be a very fun and competitive event in the few years since its inception. The format is 3v3 in sonars rigged with spinnakers. There are still some open spots on the EYC team - reach out to team captain Megan Strehlow if you’re interested!
If you cannot sail but would like to support this local event, you can sign up to umpire by emailing Miranda Bakos. Or just come out that weekend and cheer on the ladies of Team EYC! |

| Invitational Cup Qualifier |
|
|
The NYYC Qualifying event for the Invitational Cup was held in Narragansett Bay last weekend. Although this event was a competition for the NYYC berth in the event, a few EYC sailors competed in IC37s in challenging spring conditions. Lily Lichtenstein sailed on Abracadabra (8th place), Hannah Lynn on Skeleton Key (4th), and Lee Chrisman on Lively (11th). |
