CYC AROUND THE ISLAND RACE

The IRC East Coast and Swan 42 National Championships was hosted by New York Yacht Club in Newport this weekend, with six of the 40 competitors having raced in the 2014 CYC Around the Island Race: Patricia Young and Paul Hamilton’s Entropy , Paul Zabetakis’ Impetuous , Brian Cunha’s Irie 2, Lincoln Mossop’s The Cat Came Back , Todd Stuart’s White Rhino and Brooke Mastrorio’s URSA . Irie 2 and The Cat Came Back already signed up for our 2015 race. We challenge this weekend’s winners to contend for another first place finish on Narragansett Bay on September 6! We’re talking to you, Vesper (Jim Swartz), Temptation-Oakcliff (Art Santry), August West (Jamey Shachoy) and Mahalo (Charles Kenahan).

For many Rhode Island sailors, Labor Day Weekend is the “Grand Finale” for the region’s racing season, hosting a plethora of fun activities on Narragansett Bay, and on September 6, 2015 the annual  Conanicut Yacht Club Around the Island Race  will mark its 88th year as one of the holiday’s hallmark events. Held out of Jamestown, the 19 nautical-mile circumnavigation of Conanicut Island is a tradition among many and welcomes competitors racing mono hull sailboats over 22 feet in length that are rated for PHRF-NB.
