We had a Club team at the annual New York Yacht Club Invitational Team Race in late July. Eight sailors represented the club and finished fourth overall (and first non-American club). Well done Fred Cudmore and his team (also noted recently on the club Facebook page).
All of our sailors and boats racing in Calves Week are having a great weeks racing with the exception of Tuesday when there was no racing due to fog.
