2019 Rolex New York Yacht Club Invitational Cup

2019 Rolex New York Yacht Club Invitational Cup

September 7 to 14, 2019
Newport, R.I.


After a successful decade of racing in the Swan 42, the 2019 Rolex New York Yacht Club Invitational Cup will be the first to utilize the Club's fleet of 20 IC37 raceboats. These purpose-built machines, when combined with one-design sails from North Sails, identical gear and standardized rig tune, will create the most level platform ever used for amateur big-boat racing. The boats will be owned by the Club, and will be maintained to an identical standard.
