NYYC Yachts Score in Newport-Bermuda Race

Alex Jackson, a NYYC member, was first to finish the Newport Bermuda Race in his Speedboat, a new 98-footer. In 2007, Jackson won the Herreshoff Medal -- the highest racing award presented by the NYYC. The photo by Dan Nerney shows Speedboat in the 2008 NYYC Annual Regatta presented by Rolex that preceded the event and is part of the Onion Patch Series. The second yacht to finish was Rambler skippered by George David, also a NYYC member. The 90-foot ILC maxi took line honors in the Gibbs Hill Lighthouse division. The third yacht to finish was Puma Racing’s Il Mostro, skippered by Ken Read, a NYYC member, as well. Also, NYYC-member Clayton Deutsch and his Chippewa topped the other 12 boats in Class 9 of the St David’s Lighthouse Division; Deutsch's Chippewa led the Onion Patch Series after the NYYC's Annual Regatta presented by Rolex. Other NYYC members to score in the Bermuda Race include Privateer, Ronald O’Hanley, winner of the Open Division, Jacqueline IV, Bob Forman, second in Class 2, and Carina, Rives Potts, third in that class. Potts's Carina also won the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club’s Anniversary Regatta, part of the Onion Patch Series.

Georgetown is the Winner of the ICSA/Gill Nationals

Hosted by NYYC, Brown University and Salve Regina University

Newport, Rhode Island (June 4, 2008) – Evidently the idea of finishing runner-up to Boston College (Chestnut Hill, Mass.) for the second time in less than a week did not sit well with the Georgetown University (Washington, D.C.) sailing team.  Last Sunday (June 1), Boston College won the ICSA/APS Team Race Championship with a final score of 11-3, as Georgetown finished second with a 9-5 win-loss record.  In pouring rain and with the most coveted title in college sailing – the ICSA/Gill National Championship – within reach, Georgetown turned a 17-point deficit at the start of today’s final six races for both A- and B-Divisions, into first a 10-point and then a 29-point lead heading into the final set of races for the day.
