GENERAL FORMAT                                                                                                              
The 154th NYYC Annual Regatta presented by Rolex will consist of a TWO-DAY Series on Saturday and Sunday, June 14-15. In addition, all eligible yachts may enter the AROUND-THE-ISLAND Race on Friday, June 13. This race will be scored separately from the TWO-DAY Series and there is no entry fee.
The TWO-DAY Series is part of the Onion Patch Series and the Gulf Stream Series for IRC yachts, as well as the first leg of the 2008 NYYC Classic Series for classic yachts.
Entry is open to yachts with a minimum LOA of 25 feet in IRC, Classics, 12 Metres or One-Design classes. Handicap and Classic yachts must also meet the requirements of an 'Enrolled' yacht at NYYC (LWL of 25'+, fully decked except cockpit, capable of accompanying the Squadron on the Annual Cruise including accommodation suitable to the size of the yacht). 
One-design classes and other handicap classes (IRC non-spinnaker or PHRF 90-135) will be permitted to enter with a minimum of eight entries or at the discretion of the Organizing Authority. Contact the Sailing Office if you are interested in racing IRC non-spinnaker or PHRF to see if there is enough interest to form a class.
