For Spirit and Her Crew, The Camaraderie of CYCS Make it a Can’t Miss Regatta Series
Get to know the boat who made it the most regattas in the CYOA fleet in 2024.
Regatta Spotlights: Narragansett Bay
he placid summer waters of Narragansett Bay have welcomed sailors from around the world for decades. Three regattas in the Ocean State are part of CYOA’s Classic Yacht Challenge Series (CYCS). The NYYC Tiedemann Regatta, the Herreshoff Classic Yacht Regatta, and the Newport Classic Yacht Regatta presented by IYRS keep the history and heritage of Rhode Island sailing alive while providing CYCS’s trademark camaraderie and beauty.
Regatta Spotlights: Camden Classics Cup and Boothbay Yacht Club Regatta
Each month, we will spotlight two of our CYCS Events. Kicking off 2025 is two Maine events: Camden Classics Cup and Boothbay Shipyard Cup Classics.
Changes to CRF 2024 for CRF 2025
At the end of each Classic season, the CYOA Technical Committee does an in-depth review of the year’s racing, with a primary focus on how accurately CRF ratings reflected real world performance over the full range of boat sizes and types and in a variety of conditions.
