Team EYC is looking to fill rosters for two of the most competitive women’s team racing events in the country:
NYYC Women’s 2v2 - June 1-2 in Newport, RI
This event began a few years ago and was added to New York Yacht Club’s “Big 4” group of events, which also includes the Morgan Cup, Hinman Masters, and Grandmasters Championship. NYYC is known for excellent race management and hospitality, making this a competitive event and a fun one on and off the water. Reach out to Clinton Hayes and Hannah Lynn (ASAP!) if you’re interested in sailing.
Thayer Trophy - June 22-23 in Marblehead
The Thayer Trophy, hosted by the Corinthian Yacht Club and sailed just outside the harbor, has quickly become one of the premier team race events in the area, and one of the most prestigious women’s regattas in the country. This event is very competitive and draws teams from all over the US, with the added benefit of it being in our own backyard. The regatta party Saturday night is also one for the books. After some strong performances in past years, we hope to work with our new Dean of Sailing, Fran Charles, to build out a strong roster and ensure many practice opportunities to take home a win. Sign up here to express interest in sailing.
If you have any questions about the above events, or if you want to participate in sailing but are unsure where you fit in based on experience or how to get involved, the Team EYC co-chairs are happy to help. Reach out to Clinton Hayes and Hannah Lynn.
