Sign Up for The Commodores' Cup - July 5th

Team EYC is looking for team racers of all skill and experience levels to compete for this year’s Commodores’ Cup. One of the most hotly contested trophies in Marblehead harbor, the Commodores’ Cup is a team racing championship between the major clubs around Marblehead Harbor. 

The event is sailed in Sonars with no spinnakers, and there is a place for everyone regardless of team racing prowess.

As in the past few years, racing will kick off around 3pm on a Friday at the mouth of the harbor for an evening of beautiful golden hour racing, before heading in for refreshments and prize giving. True to tradition, the winning club will hoist its burgee on the host club’s flag pole (CYC is hosting this year!). You can sign up for team consideration on the EYC Sailing Calendar. If you are interested in acting as the EYC team captain for this event or have any questions, please reach out to Team EYC chairs Clinton Hayes and Hannah Lynn.

Cape 31 Midwinter Championship

EYC’s Thomas Barrows competed last weekend at the Midwinter Championship for the budding Cape 31 class, hosted by Lauderdale Yacht Club. The Cape 31 is an up-and-coming class here in the US that has had a meteoric rise overseas in fleet size and competition level.
