Elite Big-Boats and Crowded Starts: 170th New York Yacht Club Annual Regatta Promises High Drama

The 170th New York Yacht Club Annual Regatta, a storied event in American sailing, features a dynamic split in its ORC racing classes. In the limelight are Classes A and B, boasting the country’s elite big-boat programs. Class A includes four formidable 60- and 70-footers, while Class B is highlighted by four TP52s and a new, swift Botin ORC 45-footer. With professional sailors aplenty, achieving optimal boat speed around the track is paramount in these classes.

In contrast, Classes C and D, with 19 and 14 entries respectively, present a different challenge. The crowded starting line demands a clean getaway, as all the boat speed in the world won’t save a race if poor positioning and tactical missteps plague the first beat.

“We’ve had this boat two and a half years, and I think this is the most competitive class we’ve seen in ORC, and the tightest rating band,” says Andrew Weiss, skipper of the Italia 11.98 Christopher Dragon XII, sailing in ORC D. “It’s great. [The time allowances for a one-hour race] are going to be down to between no time on our sistership to a minute and a half. It’s a good precursor for the ORC World Championship in the fall.”

First raced on the Hudson River in 1846, the New York Yacht Club’s Annual Regatta has a rich history. With few interruptions, it has been a yearly fixture, moving to Newport, R.I., in 1988 and adopting its current three-day format in 2004. The 170th Annual Regatta features a historic fleet of over 150 boats, including the prestigious 52 Super Series fleet, making its North American return since 2017. Sponsored by Helly Hansen, Safe Harbor Marinas, Peters & May, and Hammetts Hotel, this event is set against the picturesque Harbour Court clubhouse.

For the past two years, Andrew Berdon has been a key competitor in the ORC C and D classes, racing his J/111 Summer Storm. This year, he’s upgraded to a TP52, competing in ORC B, where there’s more space on the line but little room for error.

“I bought [the J/111] and refit her over the winter of 2022, and splashed her in July in time for the Club’s Race Week at Newport in 2022,” Berdon explains. “We then won our class in the Vineyard Race against some very stiff ORC competition. That gave me the confidence to campaign her over the winter of 2022-’23 in the SORC, the RORC 600, and BVI Spring Regatta. We had a great time sailing her, but at 36 feet, she was not enough boat for long distances.”

The decision to transition to a TP52 was influenced by the Royal Ocean Racing Club’s announcement to re-establish the Admiral’s Cup in 2025. Berdon aims to compete in the 2024 Bermuda Race and ORC Worlds in Newport, eyeing a potential Admiral’s Cup team spot.

Berdon’s early results with the TP52 have been promising, including an overall win in the Storm Trysail Club’s 186-mile Block Island Race. Now, he faces formidable competition in ORC B, including David Team’s Vesper, Victor Wild’s Fox, and the Prospector team, led by Larry Landry and Paul McDowell. A wild card in the mix is Wendy Schmidt’s new Botin ORC 45 Azulito.

“I’m looking forward to competing against some of the best-prepared and crewed TP52 teams in the world,” says Berdon. “We have a great group of sailors and a great boat, and we are very fortunate to be racing TP52s in Newport this summer.”

Racing begins with the traditional race around Conanicut Island on Friday, June 14, and continues with buoy and navigator racing on Narragansett Bay and Rhode Island Sound over the weekend. The 52 Super Series, back in North America for the first time in seven years, will sail separately until June 13 before joining the Regatta. Nearly 1,000 attendees are expected for Saturday night’s Annual Regatta Dinner, underscoring the event’s enduring allure.

As a member of the St. Francis Yacht Club in San Francisco we have reciprocal privileges to use the NYYC club (and Vice Versa) when we're are traveling. This goes for the NYYC Harbor Court station in Newport, RI. Our Commodore was having his "Commodore Cruise" in New England and the closing dinner was to be at Harbor Court. Now, with COVID there was a limit on guests amd total crowd for a dinner. We had over 100 cruising ew England and over 80 were due for the final dinner. Add Henri the hurricane to the mix and we had some challenges for the dinner. We had cocktails on the front lawn. Then, the NYYC set is up outside in the motor court area for dinner. This allowed us to get our entire group together. Weather was perfect. Calm Before the storm as they say. We even had the opportunity to watch the clubs "colors" ceremony when they retreat the flag each evening prior to sunset. Now getting to the food and service. With COVID it is especially hard to find amd keep good servers. We struggle with that at our club. It here at the NYYC. First they had plenty of staff. A welcome reprise from those businesses who can't seem to ramp staff back up. Even more impressive, their staff are trained very well. Women first, serve from left, remove from Right etc... I was thoroughly impressed that during COVID, and the night before a major hurricane, the NYYC was able to host the dinner for the StFYC and do so at such a best-of-class level. If you have a chance to visit Harbor Court, don't miss it!

Motor court entrance to NYYC's Harbor Court. We had our dinner outside last night.

I recently came for a cocktail with some co-workers. The grounds and views are stunning. If you are ever so fortunate as to accept an invitation from a member please come for a visit! Our waitress was kind and attentive. She took everyone's drink orders quickly and our orders were correct. (I did have to describe what was in a Cape Codder though). Lovely location, great to soak in a beautiful summer day. We may get to enjoy a dinner here in the future and I look forward to updating my review.

For all of the New York Affluent Yacht owners, now you can add a club of your own to accommodate all of your guest that are fine wine lovers. This is an amazing opportunity to have a supply of the best curated fine wines from Napa and Sonoma region, delivered directly to your Dock. To learn more about this opportunity visit http://1f89.com/wine-delivered-to-your-yacht/ or call 1-480-788-5051

Gorgeous venue, with arguably the best views in town. Delicious, fresh, and high quality food. The menu is generally not very large, but offers a good selection of choices. The venue has different events, and menu changes each day - sometimes there are buffets. The service is courteous, although registering when walking in can be lengthy. The outdoor patio and lounge chairs area is very enjoyable. Lunches tend to be less busy and more peaceful. Dinners can get crowded and loud with many visitors who come to watch the sunset. The boat water parking is located right below.

I had the opportunity to enjoy this fine establishment for my brother-in-law's naval change of command ceremony dinner. The grounds of the club are beautiful and meticulously maintained. All the staff are gracious and welcoming - the bartenders even kept an eye on my nephews during some dull dinner moments. Cocktails served on the patio overlooking the harbor with a beautiful (and STEEP!) grassy hill down to the water really set the mood for a nice evening. The formal dinner was chicken, leeks and some sort of grain - all very good and well prepared. Service was impeccable. Even though I'm not exactly your "yacht club" type o' gal, I'd definitely say I'm a fan of this place :)

Spectacular wedding venue! Staff was helpful and kind, food was delicious and perfectly cooked.

View of the boat house where the wedding took place. Absolutely gorgeous!

Beautiful place to have an event. The staff is wonderful and the food is magnificent. As a sailor myself it's one of the places I love to go to. The view from the hill is amazing. I never get tired of it.

An exquisite venue on Newport Harbor. I've attended several weddings and social events at this venerable Rhode Island private establishment. Members may extend privileges to friends who can take advantage of the lovely lodging or the bar and dining facilities. You can't go wrong paying a visit to Harbor Court. Remember: no cell phones in club public areas!

Great lobster roll. Fresh and good volume. Friendly service but slow. Not much dessert menu. Coffee taste nice.

CAROLINA SÄVE AND BRYAN NATALE

AUGUST 23, 2014 IN NEWPORT, RHODE ISLAND

While studying at his law school’s library, Bryan Natale pointed out a beautiful blonde to his friend, but made no move to meet her. A few days later, the friend called saying that the woman was at the first-year student mixer and Bryan should get down there and introduce himself—which is exactly what he did.

“I’m from Sweden,” says Carolina Säve, “and I was very impressed when Bryan mentioned he had studied in my country.” So much so, that she boldly asked him for his phone number. The couple bonded over their love of food and travel, with Bryan endearing himself through small, thoughtful gestures. “A month into being with him, I knew he was right for me,” says Carolina. It was a lock when Carolina’s mom, critical of past boyfriends, gave Bryan her seal of approval.

“…HOW CAROLINA AND I WENT DOWN MANY PATHS TO EVENTUALLY FIND EACH OTHER MADE ME REALIZE HOW FORTUNATE WE ARE.”

On a trip to Nantucket, Bryan seemed unusually nervous while relaxing on the beach. He began telling Carolina about how much he loved her, and when she opened her eyes, he was on one knee with the ring extended. She said, “Yes,” and moments later, a seal waddled out of the surf and waved at the couple. “People joke that Bryan paid the seal to show up, and I tell them that it ‘sealed the deal’ for me,”kids Carolina.

Because sailing was an integral part of Carolina’s childhood, the historic New York Yacht Club in Newport, Rhode Island, felt “just right” to the bride. The ceremony was held on the oceanside lawn overlooking all of Newport. In a move that was kept secret from everyone, including Bryan, the bride and her father arrived by boat. Their walk to the altar was accompanied by a string quartet. 

 Rites were recited in English and Swedish so international guests, including Carolina’s grandmother, could follow along. At the conclusion of the ceremony, the flower girls serenaded the couple with a Swedish “summer” song.

The reception employed many Swedish traditions, starting with white tie and tails for the wedding party. Seating, at long tables stemming from the head table, was arranged to ensure that people meet each other. “You mix everyone up,” says Carolina. “You don’t get to sit with your spouse or college buddies.”

Carolina and Bryan danced a traditional waltz to “Edelweiss” for their first dance, followed by a three-hour, four-course dinner. The meal was accompanied by a multitude of speeches managed by two toastmasters. “Sitting back and absorbing the stories about how Carolina and I went down many paths to eventually find each other made me realize how fortunate we are,” says Bryan. Dancing began after dinner and continued until the 11 p.m. curfew. Then, the newlyweds walked a sparkler-lined aisle to a boat that ferried them to the continuing party at Newport’s Forty 1° North.

The honeymoon began with an exciting helicopter ride over sparkling blue waters to Azura Benguerra Island in Mozambique, where the couple recovered from their whirlwind of entertaining. After resting up, Carolina and Bryan flew to South Africa and checked off a bucket list item with two safaris filled with “amazing” wild animal sightings.

After the honeymoon, Bryan and Carolina returned to their home in Boston where they both practice law.

Brian Hillier frustrated by retirement in last Newport Bermuda Race

Brian Hillier has expressed his frustration at having to retire from the 53rd Newport Bermuda Race.

The experienced St George’s Dinghy and Sports Club sailor was forced to abandon the 635-mile race after suffering damage to the rudder on his J-125, Crossfire , and travelled the rest of the way to the island with his boat’s engine switched on.

“We were really doing well prior to the rudder issue but once that happened we had to play the safety role, and that's what we did,” Hillier told The Royal Gazette .

“We just had an unfortunate breakdown and everybody was sad that this happened.”

Hillier was competing in the St David’s Lighthouse Division in his 40ft monohull yacht accompanied by crew Ruairi Brown, Michael Wollmann, Peter Dill, Chris Adderley, William Thompson and Jason Owen.

“They were fantastic and The new guys and old guard all did a good job,” the 69-year-old helmsman said.

Hillier and his crew went into the race with confidence after picking up four wins and class honours at the 170th New York Yacht Club Annual Regatta held in Newport the weekend prior to the start of the biennial Newport Bermuda Race.

“We had a great week prior to that with the New York Yacht Club Annual regatta,” he added.

“We had a fantastic three days of sailing and sailed a remarkably good series.”

This year’s Newport Bermuda Race was Hillier’s last as he has decided to call it a day and pass on the baton to the next generation.

“I will be 72 at the time of the next race and I won't be doing it,” Hillier said.

“I am not saying Crossfire might not. If the guys want to do it, then we can work out an agreement and Crossfire could possibly do it, but I won’t be there on the boat as it’s time for me to step aside.”

Roy Disney’s Volvo 70 Mod, Pyewacket 70 , was the first boat to complete the race in 59hr 17min 35sec, crossing the finish off St David’s at 1.37am on Monday morning.

Claiming line honours in the multihull division was Adrian Keller’s catamaran Allegra in 61hr 31min 30sec after crossing the finish line at 3.41am the same day.

Rives Potts’ McCurdy & Rhodes Carina won the St David’s Lighthouse Division for the fourth time on corrected time while Andy Berdon’s JV 52 Summer Storm captured the Gibbs Hill Division.

Frank Sobchak’s sloop Northeast Wind claimed honours in the Finisterre Division while Phil Haydon’s Sunfast 3300 Fearless won class and the overall Doublehanded Division.

Big class or small, winning in ORC at New York Yacht Club’s 170th Annual Regatta will be a challenge

The four classes racing under the ORC rule at the 170th Annual Regatta break into two groups. Class A and Class B feature some of the country’s elite big-boat programs, four 60- and 70-footers in former and four TP52s and a speedy new Botin ORC 45-footer in the latter. Pro sailors abound in these two classes, and optimal boat speed all the way around the track will be crucial. In Classes C and D, it’s a different story. With 19 and 14 entries, respectively, getting off the line with a clean lane is going to be a supreme challenge. All the boat speed in the world isn’t going to save your race if you start in the cheap seats and your first-beat tactical calls are dictated by a dozen boats sitting on your wind.

“We’ve had this boat two and a half years, and I think this is the most competitive class we’ve seen in ORC, and the tightest rating band,” says Andrew Weiss (above), the skipper of the Italia 11.98  Christopher Dragon XII , which will sail in ORC D. “It’s great. [The time allowances for a one-hour race] are going to be down to between no time on our sistership to a minute an a half. It’s a good pre-cursor for the ORC World Championship in the fall.”

The  New York Yacht Club’s Annual Regatta  was first sailed on the Hudson River on July 16 and 18, 1846. A similar competition the previous year was called a Trial of Speed. With a few exceptions for world wars and other global crises, the event has been held every year since. For the majority of its existence, the Annual Regatta was raced on waters close to New York City. Since 1988, however, the event has been sailed out of the Harbour Court clubhouse in Newport, R.I., and, in 2004, it settled into the current three-day format, which includes a race around Conanicut Island on Friday, two days of buoy or navigator-course racing on Saturday and Sunday and nightly social activities on the grounds of the historic Harbour Court mansion. The 170th Annual Regatta will feature an historic fleet of more than 150 boats, including the 10-foot 52 Super Series fleet, competing in North America for the first time since 2017. The Annual Regatta is sponsored by  Helly Hansen ,  Safe Harbor Marinas ,  Peters & May  and  Hammetts Hotel ,

The entry list for the 170th Annual Regatta can be found  here . To read more on the 52 Super Series’ return to North America, click  here

For the preview two years, Andrew Berdon was often right in the middle of the fleet of 30- and 40-foot sailboats that makes up ORC C and D at the Annual Regatta. He sailed a J/111 named  Summer Storm , doing a mix of distance and buoy races. For this summer, however, he’s upgraded to a TP52 and will be lining up with the thoroughbreds in ORC B where there will be more space on the line, but little margin for error around the track.

“I bought [the J/111] and refit her over the winter of 2022, and splashed her in July in time for the Club’s Race Week at Newport in 2022,” says Berdon (at left), who campaigned a Marten 49 from 2016 through 2021. “We then won our class in the Vineyard Race against some very stiff ORC competition. That gave me the confidence to campaign her over the winter of 2022-’23 in the SORC, the RORC 600 and BVI Spring Regatta. We had a great time sailing her, but at 36 feet, she was not enough boat for long distances.

“The decision to buy another carbon race boat was put into motion when Royal Ocean Racing Club announced its intention to re-establish the Admiral’s Cup in 2025. When I read of that decision, I revisited the idea of competing in the 2024 Bermuda Race and ORC Worlds in Newport, both for their own sake and as a reality check to see if we could be competitive as a candidate for an Admiral’s Cup team.”

The early returns for Berdon and his crew were very positive, an overall win in the Storm Trysail Club’s 186-mile Block Island Race a few weeks ago. Now he’ll get a chance to see how his crew and his new boat do around the buoys.

Berdon’s competition in ORC B will be familiar to anyone who’s followed the sharp end of ORC sailing the past few years: David Team’s  Vesper , Victor Wild’s  Fox  (at right) and the  Prospector  team, led by Larry Landry and Paul McDowell, which has downsized from a Mills 68 in advance of the ORC Worlds. There’s also one wild card in the class, the sparkling new Botin ORC 45  Azulito , skippered by Wendy Schmidt.

Any one of the five could win the weekend. Any one could finish last.

“I’m looking forward to competing against some of the best-prepared and crewed TP52 teams in the world,” says Berdon. “We have a great group of sailors and a great boat, and we are very fortunate to be racing TP52s in Newport this summer.” Racing in the  170th Annual Regatta  will begin with all classes sailing the traditional race around Conanicut Island on Friday, June 14, and continue with buoy and navigator racing on Narragansett Bay and Rhode Island Sound on Saturday and Sunday, June 15 and 16. The  52 Super Series , returning to North America for the first time in seven years, will sail through Thursday, June 13, on its own before joining the Annual Regatta. A capacity crowd of nearly 1,000 is anticipated for Saturday night’s Annual Regatta Dinner.
