eastern yacht club racing

Eastern Yacht Club

In 1870, the eastern yacht club was formed when twelve men created an organization dedicated to the promotion of yachting. over the years, the eastern has established itself as one of the most distinguished yacht clubs in america.  overlooking marblehead's breathtaking harbor, the eyc offers its members and guests a wealth of opportunities to enjoy activities on sea and on land. .

In 2015, we completed a major renovation of the entire Clubhouse which we are quite proud of.  Along with our formal Henderson Dining Room, we have the outdoor Samoset Porch informal dining facility. These dining settings are situated with a panoramic view of the harbor. We also cater to first class private events and world class regattas (e.g., the Sonar Worlds, IOD Worlds, Viper and Etchell’s NA). Our campus includes an aquatics facility, three paddle tennis courts, six tennis courts, a junior sailing program, children’s summer camp, two full-service bars and of course, access to the harbor for a number of sailing related events and activities. The Eastern is a member of the International Council of Yacht Clubs, a world-wide yachting organization that includes some of the most prominent clubs in their respective regions. There are clubs from North America, Europe, Scandinavia, England, Asia, New Zealand, Australia and Africa. The primary purpose of the ICOYC is for Leading Yacht Clubs to Work Together to Share Experiences. One way in which this knowledge is shared is by holding Commodore’s Forums with panel presentations. These panels offer insights into how other clubs operate and provide a unique opportunity to have access to information that is closely guarded and not generally available. The opportunity to discuss these issues with officers of other clubs is invaluable. For a list of the clubs and to find other information about the ICOYC please click  HERE . 

Among the oldest and most distinguished yacht clubs in America, the Eastern Yacht Club embodies the very essence of the history of ‘yachting’. When yachting in Massachusetts was in its infancy, a group of gentlemen from Boston organized themselves as the Eastern Yacht Club for the purpose “of encouraging yacht building, and naval architecture, and the cultivation of nautical science.” Twelve successful businessmen, “imbued with the true yachting spirit,” according to a contemporary newspaper account, met in March of 1870. Within a month they had enrolled 110 members with 23 yachts. Construction of the clubhouse on Marblehead Neck was completed in 1881. Already known as the “Birthplace of the American Navy”, Marblehead became the homeport to some of the most beautiful schooners and steamers to be built during this time establishing itself as ‘the yachting capital of the world.’ From the beginning, the Club took a leadership position in every facet of yacht racing. The 94-foot sloop Puritan, flying the Eastern colors, successfully defended the America’s Cup in 1885 against challenger Genesta of the British Royal Yacht Squadron. This victory marked the first of three successful Cup defenses against the British by Eastern yachts in as many years- an extraordinary feat. Mayflower answered the challenge of Galatea in 1886, sending her packing in light air off New York. And in 1887, steel cutters Volunteer and Thistle engaged, and Volunteer, owned by Eastern member General Charles Paine, gained victory for America once again in a stunning defeat. Committed from its incorporation to superior naval architecture, the Eastern’s membership has included such celebrated designers and builders as Edward and Starling Burgess, Nathanael and L. Francis Herreshoff, Ray Hunt, and Ted Hood. The club’s roster of members boasts such revered names across the ages in yacht racing as Charles Francis Adams, skipper of Yankee; Chandler Hovey, whose J Class Yacht Rainbow and Twelve Meter Easterner graced America’s Cup trials; Bradley Noyes, whose Tiogas gained multiple victories and the legendary Ted Hood, yacht designer, sail maker and winning skipper of the 1974 America’s Cup aboard the 12 Meter Courageous. Hood was elected to the America’s Cup Hall of fame in 1993. In recent years, our club has been proudly represented around the world by seven-time Etchells Worlds champion Dave Curtis; Jud Smith, two time winner of Rolex Yachtsmen of the year and 10 time World Champion in multiple classes, and Dru Slattery, internationally ranked in women’s sailing. The club’s history is so full of characters and achievements, however, that for every one mentioned, there are literally dozens of others deserving attention. Of most recent note is Rich Wilson, who recently completed his second Vendee Globe solo around the world race in Great American III as the only American and oldest entrant, finishing in 107 days. Rich’s record-breaking voyages around Cape Horn about his trimaran Great American II captivated 300,000 thousand schoolchildren through his Sites Alive education portal. Aboard Great American II, he also set two new records between New York and Melbourne, and Hong Kong-New York, and finished second in the Transatlantic Race in 2004. From the Sonder class regattas that preceded World War I to the competitive one-design and performance handicap (PHRF) races of today, the Eastern has played host to a multitude of major sailing events, local, national, and international. In 2019, we will host both the IOD Worlds and the Laser Masters North American Championship. Other major regattas have included the 2018 J70 Worlds, the Etchells Worlds, Soling Worlds, Star Worlds, IOD Worlds, Olympic Classes Regattas, Viper 640 North Americans, Sonar North Americans, and Shields Nationals, as well as the Soling North Americans, a preliminary race for the ‘96 Olympics. In 1994 the club received the coveted St. Petersburg Yacht Club Trophy, awarded for the Race Committee’s outstanding management of the Star North Americans. A visit to the Eastern is a walk through yachting history, from the glorious days of the huge racing yachts to the present-day streamlined one designs. The trophy cases display such treasures as the Puritan Cup, the Lambert Cup, the Cleopatra’s Barge trophy, even a trophy once carried on Admiral Nelson’s flagship, as well as an array of Olympic medals. One hundred and fifty years of yachting history reside here! A digital copy of our “The Eastern Yacht Club, A History from 1870-1985” by Joseph E. Garland may be accessed  via this link .

2022 Star World Championship

September 8 - 17, 2022, district: iscyra.

Event information.

Notice of Race

Recognizing the importance of attracting the U30 sailors, Eastern Yacht Club and its members have graciously offered to house U30 sailors gratis during the event.  Priority will be given to these teams to enable them to attend this prestigious event as well as experience Marblehead hospitality.

The 100 th Anniversary of Star Class World Championships will be held this September 10-17, 2022 in Marblehead, Massachusetts, USA.   The host for the event is the prestigious Eastern Yacht Club. 

Eastern Yacht Club has hosted the Star Class World Championship twice; first in 1981 and most recently in 1997.

Interested sailors are encouraged to contact the Class for the availability of charter boats to attend this and other major events.  For more information: Star Worlds Website

90 entries from 14 nations with over 15 past World Champions and 15 U30 teams

It’s shaping up to be an event to remember, the 2022 Star World Championship not only will be celebrating the 100th Anniversary Championship but will register a record number of participants after the Olympic years. There will be over 15 past Star World Champions and a good representation of the new generation with 15 U30 teams.   100 years ago, the first ever Star World Championship took place in Long Island, NY, USA, the boat was about 10 years old and its popularity was expanding from the American borders to the rest of the Globe. This year we celebrate one the most endured sailing classes, the International Star Class, with the 100th Anniversary Star World Championship, in Marblehead, MA, USA, not so distant from the venue of the first edition of the event. 90 entries 10 years after being cut from the Olympic Games, it is a testimony of the longstanding appeal of the boat designed in 1910 by Francis Sweisguth and as an Olympic sailing class for 80 years, from 1932 to 2012, more than any other class.   All of the sailing legends have won a title in the Star Class, from Lowell North, founder of North Sails, to Dennis Conner, Mister America’s Cup, from the all-time hero Paul Elvstrom to three-time Olympic Star medalist Mark Reynolds, from Valentin Mankin, to Torben Grael, Paul Cayard, Robert Scheidt and Iain Percy. These are the sailors who have written the history of our sport and to them and all of the Star World Champions is dedicated ‘100 Years of Gold Stars’, the book written by Carol Newman Cronin in which she interviews most of the living Champions and she captures the best memories of a century of global events.   To celebrate the Star World Champions, each team will have a sail number representing a year of their choice. Past World Champions will have the year in which they won, and other competitors have picked a memorable one for them. Bobby Lippincott chose 1950, when his grandfather Robert won the title in Chicago, and so did Danny Cayard by picking 1960, year in which his grandfather Pelle Petterson won in San Diego, and Larry Whipple 1922, the year of the first World Championship.   The 2022 Star World Championship will begin on September 10th with the official practice race, and will end on Saturday 17th, after seven days in which the traditional two-hour long six races will be finished. After that, a pair of new names – but not necessarily ‘new’ – will be written on the prestigious 100-year-old trophy, and the history of the International Star Class and its renowned World Championship will enter a new century.

A solid third place in the final race from Italy’s Diego Negri/Sergio Lambertenghi was more than enough to reward them with gold at the 2022 Star Worlds.   For Negri, winning the 100 th  Anniversary Championship marks a successful defense of his 2021 Worlds title, while Lambertenghi debuts his hands on the trophy. A return to light shifty conditions for the final day was the perfect conclusion for Negri/Lambertenghi.   “It was really a tough Championship,”  said Negri,  “and today, these tricky conditions for the last race. It was not easy, waking up at 0600 to be ready for the regatta. I knew that in these conditions we are the best in the world,”  continued Negri on this morning’s race expectation.   “We played this from the beginning... stay calm and we are going to win the Championship. It was great fun, a lot of intensity, I thank Sergio who was with me the last few years, always supporting me. He has been great, today especially, so I am very, very happy.”   Negri already has a bucket full of Star World Championship medals, adding gold in 2022 and 2021 to his three silvers (2016, 2014, 2008) and bronze (2015). A Star Worlds victory has until today proved elusive for Lambertenghi, after two silvers (2016, 2014) and a bronze (2015).   “We started to sail together in 2013,”  reflected Lambertenghi.  “In 2014 we lost the Championship by just one point, and we were so close for the next two or three years. But I thought, this is not enough and I will keep continuing.  I knew that last year was the right time, but I was in Kiel in ’93 and I had enough,”  Lambertenghi said in reference to the 1993 Star Worlds. In Lambertenghi’s absence, last year Diego sailed to gold with Frithjof Kleen (USA).   “This year we planned to come here for a holiday,”  Lambertenghi laughed.  “But then when you get into the competition you start playing hard and everything was perfect. We are super happy, no words.”   The final race was finely balanced with four teams in contention for the podium. The final race was a battle of the big names jockeying for position. While out of contention for a medal, Mateusz Kusznierewicz (POL)/Bruno Prada (USA) led to the first mark, chased by Negri/Lambertenghi, and Croatia’s Tonci Stipanovic/Tudor Bilic, who had their work cut out to close the points needed for a podium finish.   Negri overhauled Kusznierewicz/Prada by the downwind gate, with the Croatians holding on to third. All changed at the finish with the win going to Kusznierewicz/Prada, the Croatians in second to secure silver and Italians in third to get gold.   A few boats further back Paul Cayard/Frithjof Kleen were gunning for the bronze, and with their podium rivals, Eric Doyle/Payson Infelise (USA) struggling and back in 31 st , their quest was secure as they crossed the line in eighth.   Stipanovic/Bilic competed at their first Star Worlds last year, wrapping up with silver, so, as Bilic said,  “This year we had to win the silver again!”   Going into the final race in fourth overall, 6 points behind the leaders, they were hoping for light breeze  to have the opportunity to attack and challenge the teams ahead,   Commenting on the challenge of racing in Marblehead, Stipanovic added,  “It was really nice, we had all kinds of conditions.”    Last night Cayard/Kleen did their research on the expected current and sea breeze, seeking advice from local sailor Jud Smith and the feeling was, the left would be favored. Ashore after racing, Cayard commented,  “We started three-quarters of the way down the line and went left and unfortunately the wind went right a lot and we found ourselves pretty deep on the first beat, which has been a little bit of the theme for us this regatta, as we have been on the wrong side of the first beat a little too much. We have made amazing comebacks, but it is hard to beat guys like Diego and Sergio if you are on the wrong side of the first beat all the time. We are satisfied, we got third in a very competitive fleet,” Cayard concluded.   Today’s bronze medal represents the seventh time Cayard has stood on the Star Worlds podium, and it was thirty-four years ago in 1988 that he won gold with Steve Erickson. More recent glory days for Kleen saw him secure top spot last year with Diego Negri, and previously in 2014 with Robert Stanjek.   A win in the last race was never going to be enough for Kusznierewicz/Prada to make it to the podium, after their dismasting in Thursday’s race 4 and Friday’s 26 th  place finish saw them out of contention with an insurmountable points mountain.   “We took that hard,”  reflected Kusznierewicz, as at the point of dismasting, they were in 2 nd  or 3 rd  place, which would have been enough to place them on the podium.  “It is always nice to win the last race of the Championship. We are very happy.”   “It is good to finish after a week that we took a lot of bad decisions and maybe some bad luck. To finish winning gives us some hope for the future,”  concluded Prada.   Final Top 10 Results Overall 1. Diego Negri / Sergio Lambertenghi (ITA 2021) - 16 pts 2.

The Star Class Legacy Foundation and the Eastern Yacht Club have collaborated to ensure the U-30 teams will have a special entry fee rate for the 2022 Star World Championship in Marblehead, Massachusetts.   Qualified U30 teams will enjoy a reduced entry fee of $150.

“This news is fantastic.   Housing provided and now a manageable entry fee makes this event possible for young sailors,” said District 2 U30 sailor Matt Rajacich.  In addition, the Australian Star Class commented that “we are working very closely to develop a couple of Australian U30 sailors and this provides additional motivation to get them into the Class seeing the support offered – it is truly an amazing Class!”

Star Class President Tom Londrigan added, “I had two separate U30 sailors approach me yesterday and promised to give a donation to the Legacy Foundation when they heard the news.  These young sailors don’t have much but the reduced fee is not lost on them, they want to show their appreciation.  It’s this type of support that reminds us that we are all part of this Class and that our growth and success is a team effort.”  

The 2022 Worlds is aiming to draw over 100 teams to the regatta, and all the organizations involved ageree on the importance of attracting U30 teams for the class and for the sport as a whole.  This reduced entry fee is a group effort across each of the organizations:  Eastern Yacht Club reduced the fee in half for U30 teams; the Star Class waived its portion of the fee; and finally, the Legacy Foundation agreed to support the remaining fee on an application basis.  

Entry forms can be found on the Star Worlds website

The Eastern Yacht Club on Boston’s north shore, one of the USA’s most preeminent clubs, is home to the 2022 Star Class World Championship presented by Bacardi from September 8-17.   Marking the 100 th  Anniversary since the first Star Worlds in 1922, the Championship represents a significant moment in history, reflected in the attendance by sailors from around the world who will compete to write their names on the Star World Championship Trophy, titles and prizes.   Following four days of inspection to ensure compliance with class rules, the practice race got underway today, Saturday, September 10, followed by a cocktail hour hosted by Bacardi, which no doubt will be a popular post-race daily gathering throughout the Championship.   “The International Star Class Yacht Racing Association is beyond proud to be celebrating this historic achievement, the first by any international class,”  commented Tom Londrigan, Star Class President.  “Over the past 100 years, the role the Star Class has played in international sailing cannot be overstated. The Star has led with innovations, not least modernizing itself, while retaining its distinctive one-design hull shape.   The Star’s popularity continues, spanning generations. Beloved by all ages, the youngest sailor competing here is Vincent Schrader (GER), 23 years old, with the oldest, John Chiarella (USA) at 85 – all thrilled to be competing. John Chiarella is the Star Class Commodore.  Thank you to our hosts the Eastern Yacht Club, to the Star Class sailors and volunteers. We look forward to a wonderful week.”   Roll Call of Legends As teams made their final preparations, a look around the hectic boat park sees multiple World Champions, Star Continental Champions, Bacardi Cup winners and other famous names set for some super competitive racing.   Every Star World Championship is a battle of legends and winning the 100 th  anniversary event will be something special, something dreams are made of. One hundred and sixty eight sailors from thirteen nations are in the quest for glory, with fourteen former World Champions in the mix.   Among those installed as favorites are defending 2021 Star World Champions Diego Negri/Frithjof Kleen (ITA/GER), racing here with different teammates, Negri is back with crew Sergio Lambertenghi (ITA) and Kleen is crewing for Paul Cayard (USA).   Racing The six-race series features a traditional one long two-hour race per day, from Monday, September 12 through to Saturday, September 17, with a lay day scheduled on 14 September. The series discard will come into play after five races.   The revered Star World Championship Trophy will be presented to the winning team, with prizes to the top five overall, along with trophies to top placed teams in the Under 30, Masters, Grand Masters and Exalted Grand Masters divisions, as well as daily and series prizes.   Enduring Legacy In tribute to the heritage of the Star Class, teams were invited to choose a sail number to mark a moment in Star history which resonated with them, and a read down the sail numbers reflects plenty of personal stories and memories.   Larry Whipple chose 1922 to mark the inaugural worlds, and as one of the creators of the ‘Star Class Legacy Foundation’ his goal is to introduce future generations to this versatile, technical and challenging boat.   Like many former World Champions, Paul Cayard opted for the year he won the Star Worlds, and will race under ‘1988’, while his son Danny chose ‘1969’ to reflect the year his grandfather Pelle Pettersson claimed the title.   Celebrations From the racetrack to shoreside, the 100 th  Anniversary will embrace plenty of celebrations and socials, with dinners, cocktail parties and live music. Every former Star Class World Champion alongside many other celebrities have been invited to the Gala Dinner hosted by Bacardi on Wednesday, September 14, to join teams for a night of celebration to remember.   The Star Class is renowned for its camaraderie, and the post-race hospitality is set to make this a Championship to remember for many years to come.   Celebrating the Star Class legacy, the official Anniversary Book, ‘ 100 Years of Gold Stars’  written by Carol Cronin, chronicles the story of the Star Class from the drawing board to the present day, presenting a unique history of facts, figures, anecdotes and first-hand accounts, illustrated with stunning photos. Teams and fans can also memorize the moment with  commemorative apparel .

On September 8-17, the International Star Class Yacht Racing Association (“ISCYRA”) will celebrate the 100 th anniversary of the Star Class World Championship and Eastern Yacht Club (“EYC”) has stepped up to host the historic event.   Eastern Yacht Club enjoys a long history of hosting major yachting events.   A couple months ago, EYC and the Star Class Legacy Foundation combined to significantly reduce the entry fee for competitors under the age of thirty (“U-30”) teams. 

Corporate Sponsorship of this historic event has been strong. Therefore, in the spirit of supporting the competitors, EYC has committed to reducing the entry fee for all athletes.  Sailors from all over the world will come to race and celebrate the Championship and with seventy-five international entries already, the Championship may include over 100 teams. 

“Eastern Yacht Club is committed to supporting the events and athletes in our sport.  This commitment will help defer some of the competitors’ costs and help make the 100 th anniversary of our World Championship a special event.” said Paul Cayard, Western Hemisphere Vice-President of the International Star Class Yacht Racing Association.

“The Eastern Yacht Club is honored and thrilled to be hosting this milestone event for the legendary Star class,” said Henry Brauer, Commodore of the Eastern Yacht club.  “These competitors embody what we all aspire to as sailors:  excellence, camaraderie, and a deep respect for the history of yachting.  We view the entry fee reduction as our appreciation for all those who make this class a unique and special community on the water.”

The 2022 Star Class World Championship presented by Bacardi was officially declared open by Tom Londrigan, International Star Class President, on the morning of Sunday, September 11 accompanied by a parade of nations and gun salute at Eastern Yacht Club.   The opening day was plagued by a light and shifty breeze, with a major left shift forcing the race committee to postpone the start and reset the course, with the second attempt abandoned. At 1530 hours, race 1 got underway with a 2.2 mile upwind leg, featuring breeze of around 4 knots and big shifts. The leading pack read the course well, but it was a dice roll for many of the 84 teams in the fleet with the changing pressure, dropping to 2 knots and up to 6 knots at times, with a strong current proving tricky.   Getting settled into their lane straight away and holding the advantage skillfully to the windward mark were Paul Cayard (USA)/Frithjof Kleen (GER), with defending Star World Champion Diego Negri racing with Sergio Lambertenghi (ITA) in second, and Tonci Stipanovic/Tudor Bilic (CRO) in third. After the front third of the fleet rounded, the wind shifted and dropped leaving the rest with nowhere to hide as they struggled to make gains towards the mark.   By the second windward mark, it was the same three boats controlling the lead but a different order, with Stipanovic/Bilic gaining a critical edge in front, Negri/Lambertenghi close behind and Cayard/Kleen in third. A change of course for the final downwind leg, saw Stipanovic/Bilic remain focused with their eyes on the finish to take the first win of the Worlds.   Hugely experienced, the partnership convincingly won the 2022 Star European Championship in July, and three-time Olympian Stipanovic owns silver medals in the Laser Standard from Tokyo 2020 and Rio 2016.   “It was very hard to decide where to choose to start,”  commented Stipanovic.  “It was a really huge starting line and then the wind was changing all the time. I had some feeling that if the wind were to start to drop it would move to the left and in the end it happened like that, so we had a good start and played with the pressure all the time. It was for us just important to stay in the pressure, and then in the end on the left side there was more pressure. On the second upwind we were just a bit more patient than Diego and Paul. They tacked immediately on the first shift and we proceeded just a little bit to catch some more pressure and then it was game over”.   Three-time Bacardi Cup Champions Mateusz Kusznierewicz/Bruno Prada worked hard to turn round their start, riding their luck in the unpredictable conditions to work through from around 20 th  to finish 10 th  – not a position they are used to.   Provisional Top 10 Results – after Race 1 1.

Daily racing continues through to Saturday, September 17, with a lay day scheduled on Wednesday, September 14.

The U30 Committee would like to thank Michael "Moose" Marcel from Quincy Yacht Club for making his second boat, 7739, available to a U30 team!

Michael is an enthusiastic supporter of young Star sailors and will himself be sailing with a U30 helm at the Worlds.  Perhaps he will recall a touch of the same magic he brought to Peter Bromby when they finished third overall together at the 1997 Worlds with this young helmsman.  We take the liberty of quoting Mr. Marcel directly from his communication with us:

"I am a huge supporter of the U30 and I am a crew with a Star who will be sponsoring U30 skippers for as long as I can going into the future."

Thank you Michael for all that you are doing to ensure that our Class has a long and successful future and for sharing the best traditions of the Star class with the next generation.

Now, we need just one more "Moose" to complete our project. One more boat please, and we will be able to meet our objective of providing free boats to all the U30 teams who have expressed an interest in competing at our World Championship this fall.

Humbly and sincerely,

Benjamin Sternberg Arnd Glunde

An impressive run of form gave the race 2 win to Jørgen Schönherr (DEN) and Markus Koy (GER) who controlled the fleet from start to finish and end the day in 4 th  overall.   Headlining the leader board though are Italy’s Diego Negri/Sergio Lambertenghi, who now count two second places, to lead over Paul Cayard (USA)/Frithjof Kleen (GER), with Croatia’s Tonci Stipanovic/Tudor Bilic in third.   A postponed start, followed by a general recall saw racing get underway at 1409 hours. The 6-knot breeze remained steady with a short chop, significant current, super close racing and some supreme performances throughout the 8 nm race. A frustrating day though for the five teams who gave themselves a points mountain to climb after adding a UFD penalty to their scorecards.   Anticipating the wind would go left, Schönherr/Koy opted for the port pin end start. While the shift didn’t materialize, their positioning and boat speed kept them ahead, with Negri/ Lambertenghi on their tail the whole race.   “We had a great day today,”  grinned Schönherr on the pair’s ability to hold off a fleet packed with World Champions.  “We had a super start and then we had a tough fight with all the gold Stars breathing on our necks. We managed to stay ahead, so we are proud of that.”   A racetrack fact revealed by Schönherr is that today’s win marks only the second time he has won a race at a Star Worlds, the previous time being the final race at last year’s Worlds, where the pair finished 4 th  overall.   “From the start we were leading the race and we could finish it also leading which was great,”  added Koy. “ The key to success was that we had very good upwind speed, plus good downwind speed. We were never really under pressure speedwise, so we could sail tactically in front of the others a little bit and control them.”   Negri/Lambertenghi were ever present in attack, building on every puff in the final leg to hunt down the race leaders, as Schönherr acknowledged saying,  “Diego is always fast. If we can stay connected to him we are super happy.”   Negri has a battle on his hands to defend his 2021 Star Worlds title, with a fleet full of former World Champions hoping to add another gold star to their trophy cabinet, as well as plenty of rivals wanting to claim their first at this 100 th  Anniversary event. In a strange twist to his title defense, Negri has been forced to take a punt on some borrowed sails as his are stuck in Ireland, although so far the loaner set are not disappointing!   2009 Star World Champion George Szabo is one of those many rivals enthused about the event, “ It’s the big wigs, its always so much fun.”   Reflecting on the change in approach when racing such a large fleet, Szabo commented,  “You can’t go up the middle so much, you need to stay to the edges and also with so many boats, the water is more choppy, so you have to set the sails a little more full and a bit more loose to get out of the way sometimes.   We have a two-mile plus beat, it is so much fun you can’t even find the mark for a long time. Every little shift magnifies itself across the leverage you have across this massive racecourse. It’s epic.”   Post-race the racetrack rivalries turn off and the deep-rooted camaraderie turns on, with the usual Star Class spirit and socialising boosted by tonight’s party sponsored by Doyle Sails.   Race 3 is scheduled to get underway at 1230 hours on Tuesday, September 13.   Provisional Top 10 Results – after Race 2 1.

The U 30 committee would like to express its thanks to Starclass member and 2006 District Champion Will Swigart for stepping up to sponsor Vincent and Marcel from Germany.  Will has kindly lent his beautiful 8291 to these young star sailors so that they can compete at the Western Hemisphere Championship and the Worlds.  Indeed, he has gone so far as to arrange delivery of the boat to and from the regattas, so all the boys have to do is show up and sail their best.

We use this opportunity to thank Will publicly for his participation and to commend him as an example of American hospitality and honoring the best traditions of our class.  Quoting Will here without his permission: 

“ I remember being an age when gestures like this made an enormous difference, equally German Star sailors were amazingly open and helpful to Chuck Beek and me in the summer of 1986. ”

Certainly most of us can remember a time early in our sailing careers when we were helped along by senior members of the class.  Now we need two more of these.  There are U 30 teams from Austria and Brazil waiting to buy plane tickets if we can supply them with boats!   We once again urge the membership to participate in our project for the future of our class and sport.

The U 30 committee has received requests from two more U 30 teams – one from Austria, and one from Brazil – for loaner boats to attend the Worlds in Marblehead.  We humbly and urgently ask the membership of the Star Class to come up with two more race-ready boats to welcome these young teams to our marquee event of 2022 and inaugurate them into the best traditions of our class. 

If you are an American within a reasonable driving distance of Marblehead please contact us about lending your boat to one of these teams.

There are charter boats available, so a cash donation could pay for the transport or the charter fee for one of these boats. Please contact the Star Class office if you would like to make a donation for an U30 team.

If you are somewhere in between – maybe with time and a vehicle – and are willing to deliver a boat gratis please let us know.

We firmly believe that absent the Olympics and the SSL the only way we can replenish our ranks and grow our class is by showcasing our most valuable asset – ourselves.  The way we will do this is by applying the resources we have and our goodwill towards the future to roll out the red carpet for our young teams so that not only will they come to compete with us, but that in their turn they will extend the same courtesy they received to the next generation.  This is truly the best tradition of our class, one that we learned from those who came before us, and that we are bound to teach by example to the generations to come.

Wednesday day dawned sunny and breezy at the 100 th  Anniversary Star Worlds, in a perfect change of fortunes after Tuesday’s fog, rain and lack of wind forced racing to be cancelled.   Italy’s Diego Negri/Sergio Lambertenghi retain pole position after a solid 5 th  place score, whilst the race win to George Szabo/Guy Avellon (USA) rockets them eight places up the leader board to 7 th  overall in the eighty-four boat fleet.   Watched by a flotilla of spectator boats, the racetrack served up classic Star Class conditions, with a 12-knot offshore breeze and chop greeting teams as they took on the 2.2nm windward leg on the first of 5 laps of the 10.8nm windward/leeward upwind finish course format. After two general recalls, not the best of starts for the five teams who struggled with the shifts off the start to earn a BFD penalty.   Intercepting the shifts Breezy and shifty conditions offered plenty of opportunity for position changes. The intensity required was huge though, as the 20-degree shifts played through the fleet, with gains and losses as teams tried to keep with the pressure and make adjustments to stay in the chess match. The unpredictable breeze demanded a frequent pace change and racing style along with two course changes in a textbook challenge for Star sailors.   Whilst race 3 was for the strong wind players, control of the lead was only ever about who intercepted the shifts better between Jack Jennings (USA)/Pedro Trouche (BRA) and George Szabo/Guy Avellon (USA).   Jennings/Trouche are boosted by an impressive season, 2 nd  at the 2022 Star Europeans and 1 st  at the Star North Americans, while Szabo has the kudos of a gold Star on his mainsail from victory at the 2009 Worlds. Szabo/Avellon have been working together for the past three years and most recently finished third at the 2022 North Americans.   “We had a great day. Winning that race was really interesting,”  said Szabo.  “We started the middle weather end of the line and just getting through that chop was tough, just keeping that bow down and get through the waves.”   The shifts were key, as Szabo explained,  “We were fortunate the first three shifts put us in the right spot to be in the contention at the weather mark, and we got away on the first shift on the run. The next beat was tough, Guy was watching the numbers and watching the angles and a huge part of that was making sure we were in the right place.   “Going into the finish Jack was going to have us,”  continued Szabo,  “but he made one manoeuvre to cover Tonci which looked like the right call at the time. In the end the guys lifted so much that they overstood and reached in, and we got to the mark and got them by maybe a boat length. It was a pretty entertaining day!”   Laughing, Avellon added,  “It was fun when we heard the gun!” Putting pressure on behind to finish third were the 2022 Star European Champions Tonci Stipanovic/Tudor Bilic (CRO), who move up into 2 nd  overall. Mateusz Kusznierewicz (POL)/Bruno Prada (BRA), who count seven Star World Championship titles between them, translated the crazy narrative of the racetrack, which saw them around 11 th  at the first mark, into a 4 th  place finish and step up to third overall.   Prada reflected on a tough day,  “We did a really bad start. We held a little bit to be a little bit more conservative. It was not good, we got passed from other boats. We didn’t do the right decisions upwind. We really sailed super well downwind.”   “But we have reached our goal,”  chipped in Kusznierewicz. “E very day we are climbing two places!”   After a lacklustre start, series leaders Negri/Lambertenghi fought back with a determination as fierce as their talent, steadily finding advantages to get back in the game and claim a 5 th  place finish.   Leading the charge amongst the U30 teams are Daniel Fritz/Alberto Ambrosini (GER) in 18 th  overall.   Race 4 is scheduled to get underway at 1230 hours on Thursday, September 15.   Provisional Top 10 Results – after Race 3 1. Diego Negri / Sergio Lambertenghi (ITA 2021) - 9 pts 2. Tonci Stipanovic / Tudor Bilic (CRO 1991) - 11 pts 3. Mateusz Kusznierewicz / Bruno Prada (POL 2019) - 19 pts 4. Eric Doyle / Payson Infelise (USA 1999) - 23 pts 5. Paul Cayard / Frithjof Kleen (USA 1988) - 25 pts 6. Jørgen Schoenherr / Markus Koy (DEN 8532) - 36 pts 7. George Szabo / Guy Avellon (USA 2009) - 41 pts 8. Jim Buckingham / Phil Toth (USA 1958) - 45 pts 9. Augie Diaz / Brad Nichol (USA 8509) - 45 pts 10. Jud Smith / Remi Hutchins (USA 1957) - 45 pts   History Speaks You get a real feel for the history of Star Cass in the boat park, and amongst the many big names at the Eastern Yacht Club is Star legend Malin Burnham. He won his first Star Worlds at 16 years old as crew for Gerald Driscoll in 1944 and scooped the honour again in 1945 as skipper with Lowell North. Burnham will be sharing some of his memories and anecdotes at this evening’s Gala Dinner.   Bacardi spirit Tonight, Bacardi will host the 100th Anniversary gala dinner for around 300 guests, including sixteen former world champions. Amongst the highlights of the evening will be a video presentation by Bacardi, a look back at the past 100 years with the Star Class, a silent auction, plenty of fun, entertainment and Bacardi cocktails.   Follow the Star Worlds Eight-four teams from thirteen nations are racing for the 2022 Star World Championship title, trophies and prizes. Daily racing continues through to Saturday, September 17, with a lay day scheduled on Wednesday, September 14.

Entry is now open for the 2022 Star World Championship. This will be a celebration of the first 100 years of the Star World Championships. Set your calendar for September 8-17, 2022 in Marblehead, Massachusetts, USA - hosted by Eastern Yacht Club.

2022 Star Worlds Website

This year is the 100th Anniversary of World Championships for the Star Class. With that we want to make it a special event and honor the Class in many ways. One way we want to do that is to honor every year there has been a Championship by representing each year as a sail number.

Gold Star winners were given the opportunity to use their years first. Many have responded that they are going, and have claimed their year or are not going and their year is available. Registered competitors have been asked by giving  the next choice to select a year that they would like to use as their sail number. The years will be given on a first come first serve basis. The Worlds entry list is being updated as the years are issued.

We strongly believe having every boat with each year will be a striking image and set a great example for our Class motto “Honoring the past, leading the future”.

We know this will make the Star Class and the 100th World Championship a memorable one.

If you'd like to reserve a special year to honor a World Champion, please register for the 2022 Worlds on the website .

Strong winds kept the Star fleet postponed ashore, before easing enough to get race 4 underway at 1509 hours in 18 knots with some gusts up to 25 knots.   Hiking hard and sailing fast gave Luke Lawrence/Andrew Macrae (USA) race glory, with Paul Cayard (USA)/Frithjof Kleen (GER) coming in behind and third to Eric Doyle/Payson Infelise (USA). A 4 th  place was enough to maintain the overall lead for Diego Negri/Sergio Lambertenghi (ITA).   The race played out dramatically in the roller coaster conditions, with some thrilling downwind planing, a few dicey mark roundings and a lot of fun. Broken masts ended racing for several teams, including Mateusz Kusznierewicz (POL)/Bruno Prada (BRA) whose race wrapped up in the second downwind.   “It has been very tough, cold and windy,”  commented Negri.  “It was a very good regatta for us, we catch up from 10 th  and played for the top 3. Just a little shift at the very end we missed the podium for the race. But it is ok, we are still leading.”   “I don’t know how many litres of salty water I drank today, but it was great fun sailing,”  laughed Lambertenghi.  “With the big waves, going downwind was super, super fun.”   Four races down and four different winners, evidence enough of the calibre of teams competing. The leader board reads like a who’s who of sailing talent, with plenty of World Champions, Continental Champions and Olympic honors. Just two more races to crown the 2022 Star World Champions and there is plenty of unfinished business ahead.   World Champions Outrun and Outclassed Lawrence/Macrae took victory with a mass of Star World Champions hunting them down. Lawrence, the 2019 Star Junior World Champion, and Macrae were settled in their mode and thrilled to seize the win and rise up the leader board on such a challenging day.   “We started kind of in the middle of the fleet, which is not my normal tactic or routine, but it seemed like the breeze was steady enough to be able to pull it off,”  said Lawrence.   Playing the left-hand side of the course opened the door to round the first mark in third, from where they launched their assault, picking off Doyle/Infelise on the run and closing the gap to Jennings/Trouche, before putting the hammer down to take the lead on the next upwind.   “We always had Cayard and Diego and Eric, and those guys were always right there within shouting distance,”  continued Lawrence.  “It was a little hairy downwind at times. This boat likes to light itself up and sail like a dinghy, so it was the perfect conditions for it.”   “The downwinds were just unbelievable,”  added Macrae.  “It was a full send!”   U30 Division Forging their path to lead the U30 division in 18 th  overall are Daniel Fritz (GER)/Alberto Ambrosini (ITA), from their 14, 22, 35, 32 scorecard.   “Windy sums it up,”  grinned Fritz on the day’s exhilaration.  “It was fun. We tried to fight our way back, we got up a couple of boats.”   Despite a poor start, the pair still lead the U30 and even finishing in today’s conditions should be considered a good result.   Ambrosini continued,  “The day was pretty tough and pretty long. It was very physical, but we are here for this and now we will enjoy the evening.”    The leader board fight is now finely balanced for race 5 and with the discard coming into play tomorrow it will be a challenge for control. Race 5 is scheduled to get underway at 1130 hours on Friday, September 16.   Provisional Top 10 Results – after Race 4 1. Diego Negri / Sergio Lambertenghi (ITA 2021) - 13 pts 2.

The world-renowned beverage brand Bacardi will support the International Star Class Yacht Racing Association as the presenting sponsor of the 2022 Star World Championship, 8-17 September 2022.   The 2022 Star World Championship will celebrate 100 years of history since the first World Championship was held in 1922.  This milestone event will be held in Marblehead, Massachusetts on the eastern seaboard of the United States.  This year’s event will celebrate one of sailing’s most popular, successful and appreciated boat and its legends.  Star Champions are written in history, with their names inscribed on the sport’s most prestigious yachting trophies, including the America’s Cup, the Olympics and numerous offshore titles.   Remaining true to the heritage of the Star Class since 1922, the World’s will be contested over six days with one long daily race, bringing together the world’s best alongside emerging talent in a battle of endurance, fitness, strategy and competition.  The single race format is also reflected at the iconic Bacardi Cup, partner of the Star Class since 1927 – representing one of the longest standing alliances in sporting history.   Honoring this lasting relationship, as presenting sponsor for the 100th Anniversary Star World Championship Bacardi will host an open bar every night and hospitality for the 100th Anniversary Gala Dinner on Wednesday, September 14.   “We are thrilled to have our longtime partner, Bacardi, celebrate this historic Championship with us.  Bacardi has always stood with the Star Class and this celebratory week will be no exception,” said Tom Londrigan, President of the International Star Class Yacht Racing Association.   Continuing its reputation for hosting exceptional shoreside hospitality, the unique style of the Bacardi brand will hit the sweet spot to maximize sailors’ enjoyment post-race.   "2022 is a milestone centenary celebration for the globally renowned Star Class, marking an exceptional measure of success at the heart of sailing.  The Star can proudly reflect on its achievements and enduring popularity with sailors worldwide” declared Eddie Cutillas of Bacardi USA.  “Bacardi is proud to have been a partner of the Star Class since 1927, from the origins of the Bacardi Cup in Cuba to the present day in Miami, USA and now at the 100th celebration of the World Championships.” “On behalf of Bacardi, as presenting sponsor of the 2022 Star World Championships, I wish everyone a spectacular and memorable event,” Cutillas concluded.   Staking a place on the Star World Championship leader board remains as competitive as ever and the challenge for victory is as tough as the first edition back in 1922.  The 2022 Star World Championship will take place at the Eastern Yacht Club in Marblehead from September 8th to 17th.  

Patience aplenty has been the pattern at the 100 th  Anniversary Star Worlds, as every day has featured postponements, general recalls and unpredictable conditions. Friday’s race 5 was no different, with a postponement and general recall, followed by a black flag start to put the eighty-four boat fleet in restrained mode for the start of the 10.3 nm race.   Race 5, the penultimate battle of the 2022 Star Worlds, saw the 12 knot breeze easing and scoreboard pressure rising, as teams eyed each other at the start, hoping they had each chosen the optimum end. The left side of the course seemed clearly favoured, but the wind turned what seemed an unequivocal advantage on its head, as it shifted to the right.   Many of the leading teams were outwitted by the breeze, racking up double-digit finishes to escalate their scorecards in the wrong direction. Reading the conditions perfectly to strategically manage better than anyone else were Eric Doyle/Payson Infelise (USA), the 2019 Bacardi Cup winners, who took the race win.   “A tricky day,”  concluded Doyle.  “It started out quite windy, coming offshore, very shifty, big changes in pressure. It looked like there was a lot more wind to the left, and I kind of screwed up the start a little bit. I was being very cautious, black flag start, so we had to just hold back a little bit and we kind of got burned off. Then the breeze was going right quite dramatically so we played that to the right side predominantly on the first beat.”   Doyle/Infelise kept their pace downwind, passed a few teams and on the second upwind followed the pressure to the left and accelerated ahead to second at the mark. Going round the final downwind gate, they again pursued the breeze as it went left to take the advantage and the win.   The 2022 European Champions and 2021 Star Worlds silver medalists, Tonci Stipanovic/Tudor Bilic (CRO), who were second overall going into race 5, thought they had the race strategy nailed by choosing the left.   It wasn’t too be, as Stipanovic explained,  “We had a good fight with Mateusz for the pin end start. It was looking good after the start, the wind started to drop and slowly shifted to the left, it was what we were thinking would happen, and the right guys didn’t look so good. We were quite happy with the position but then after 4 or 5 minutes it was just slowly going to the right and I think we had a 50 degree shift.”   The duo found themselves in the mid-50s by the windward mark, and pushed extremely hard to get their heads and boat back into the game, concentrating on every puff and taking risks, secure in the position of holding a worst score of 8 th . So, whatever their race 5 result, they knew it was discardable. An impressive passage of play saw the pair gear up to finish 18 th  overall, still in podium contention going into Saturday’s decider.   The race win to Doyle/Infelise propels them into 2nd overall from 3 rd  going into the day, just 3 points off the leaders Diego Negri / Sergio Lambertenghi (ITA).   An impressive second place for Scott Mason/Charles Nankin (USA), who as weekend enthusiasts found themselves at the front of the fleet in a massive upgrade from yesterday’s DNF after hooking rigs with MacCausland/Sangmeister, and jump to 28 th  overall. Hubert Merkelbach/Kilian Weise finished in third and move up to 11 th  overall.   “We started a little above the middle boat,”  said Mason,  “and then we saw boats on the right of us wheeling up and then we tacked and ducked a whole bunch of sterns and got to the right of them and just rode that righty all the way up the leg.”   The pair converted their advantage to lead fleet around the downwind, upwind and final downwind leg, before eventually conceding to Doyle/Infelise.   The question now is how to fathom an advantage going into the podium deciding final day. Theoretically any of the top five teams can claim a podium spot and victory. In practice, based on form to date and with just six points’ separation, the contenders are the top four: Diego Negri/Sergio Lambertenghi (ITA), Eric Doyle/Payson Infelise (USA), Paul Cayard (USA)/Frithjof Kleen (GER) and Tonci Stipanovic/Tudor Bilic (CRO).   The deciding race 6 for the 100 th  Anniversary Star World Championship title and podium places is scheduled to get underway at 1200 hours Saturday, September 17.   Provisional Top 10 Results – after Race 5 1. Diego Negri / Sergio Lambertenghi (ITA 2021) - 13 pts 2. Eric Doyle / Payson Infelise (USA 1999) - 16 pts 3. Paul Cayard / Frithjof Kleen (USA 1988) - 17 pts 4. Tonci Stipanovic / Tudor Bilic (CRO 1991) - 19 pts 5. Jack Jennings / Pedro Trouche (USA 8464) - 26 pts 6. Jørgen Schoenherr / Markus Koy (DEN 8532) - 37 pts 7. Eivind Melleby / Joshua Revkin (NOR 2017) - 41 pts 8. George Szabo / Guy Avellon (USA 2009) - 42 pts 9. Mateusz Kusznierewicz / Bruno Prada (POL 2019) - 45 pts 10. Jim Buckingham / Phil Toth (USA 1958) - 47 pts   Spanning generations The Star Class is a heritage boat, with the thrill of racing often passed through generations of the same family. Uniquely for the 100 th  Anniversary Star Worlds, teams were invited to choose a sail number personal to them and we caught up with Bob Lippincott whose mainsail carries 1950.   “It is my grandfather’s sail number from when he won the worlds in 1950,”  commented Lippincott in reverence to Robert Lippincott who won with Robert Levin.  “It is really cool to be sailing under his number and it means a lot to myself and my family.”   For Danny Cayard, Star Class history throws further back, with both his father Paul Cayard and grandfather accoladed as Star World Champions. Cayard Jr is competing with sail number 1969, representing the year his grandfather, Pelle Pettersson won the Worlds in San Diego, USA. Danny’s father, Paul, has stepped onto the Star Worlds podium an incredible six times, winning gold in 1988 in Buenos Aires.   For Danny’s crew, Jamie Buchan, Star Class success also extends to his grandfather Bill, who won the 1961, 1970 and 1985 Star Worlds and Olympic Gold in 1984, and his father Carl who won the 1992 Star Worlds and gold at the 1984 Olympics in the Flying Dutchman.

A decade of persistence lifts Eastern Yacht Club to first Morgan Cup win

Eastern wins 2022 Morgan Cup

Published on August 14th, 2022 by Editor -->

Eastern Yacht Club (Marblehead, MA) claimed the Morgan Cup, an all ages 3v3 team race event in Sonars held August 12-14 in Newport, RI. Marblehead neighbor and defending champion Corinthian Yacht Club finished second, with St. Francis Yacht Club of San Francisco third and New York Yacht Club-Levesque rounding out the top four.

“A decade ago Eastern wasn’t doing any team racing,” says Clinton Hayes, the team captain for Eastern Yacht Club. “I remember when we got our first invite to the Morgan, and we finished last, then third to last. We just put a lot of effort into this event. New York Yacht Club putting in all the effort to make this such a world-class event makes all of us sailors try so hard and show up year after year.”

While the race committee ran just shy of 100 races over the three days of the Morgan Cup, it wasn’t easy. Light and fickle winds made Day 1 of the regatta quite difficult as the race committee had to keep adjusting the course, and the competitors tried to maintain focus through lengthy delays.

“The first day was a really long day with a long delay,” says Hayes. “Everyone got off the water, and we were totally burnt. The sun and the waiting around makes it really challenging.”

Nonetheless, Eastern Yacht Club finished Day 1 with seven wins against a single loss.

“A big thing was just avoiding mistakes,” says Hayes. “In light air people tend to over team race, a lot of people just get passed. So we were focused on passing other boats, sailing our boats really well, really fast, especially on the downwinds, and avoiding those stupid, unforced errors.”

More consistent sailing on Day 2 and early on Day 3 put Eastern into a strong position after two complete round-robins, with 14 wins, from 18 races, and a two-point advantage over the three teams tied for second. With the typical Newport seabreeze finally filling in, those four teams did a single, gold-fleet round robin to close out the regatta.

Corinthian beat Eastern in the opening race of the Gold Round Robin to reduce Eastern’s lead to just a single point. And since Corinthian had beaten Eastern each of the three times the two teams had sailed against one another—and therefore controlled the tie-breaker—there was effectively no margin for error.

“We knew it was close,” says Hayes of the standings heading into the final races. “We didn’t look at the exact scores, we just assumed we needed to win a majority of the races in the [Gold Fleet Round Robin]. All three races were barn burners, really tight. We were lucky to come away with two out of three.”

ABOUT THE EVENT

Marblehead Station's Creation to Honor A Sailing Hero from the Same Town

About the Ted Hood Regatta

The Ted Hood Regatta is the creation of the Storm Trysail Club's Marblehead Station. Ted Hood, a legend in sail making, yacht design, and a pioneer in the marine industry began his career in Marblehead. As a sailor, Ted won nearly every trophy from the SORC to The America's Cup. The Storm Trysail Club is honored to name this regatta for one of Marblehead's favorite sons, and one of our sports true legends. After the tremendous success of the inaugural 2017 event, the  "Hood Regatta" is on its way to becoming an East Coast Classic.

What you might not know...Have you ever done a "dip-pole jibe"? Have you ever used roller-furling? Have you ever hoisted a jib in a "head-foil"? Ted Hood was the person behind all of these innovations! He revolutionized the sail making industry with new materials, designs, and weaving technology. His yacht designs won every major ocean race, and his creativity helped advance nearly every aspect of our sport.

Stories from the Eastern Yacht Club

47 Foster Street Marblehead, MA 01945

(781) 631-1400

Website: www.easternyc.org

The Eastern Yacht Club was founded in 1870. Throughout its history "the Eastern" has consistently pursued its mission of “encouraging yacht building and naval architecture and the cultivation of nautical science.” Yachts flying Eastern colors successfully defended the America’s Cup three times in the mid-1880’s. Its interest in the America’s Cup continued into the 20th century when Eastern members built J-Boats and 12-Metres in the hope of defending the America’s Cup and Eastern members sailed on a number of 12-Metres that successfully defended the Cup.

Eastern members have built numerous off-shore racing boats that have successfully competed in local and international races. The club’s members currently own approximately 10 different types of one-design class boats and have won world and national championships in a number of those classes.

The Eastern’s race committee is active throughout the summer and is recognized as one of the very best in the country. Throughout the clubhouse you will find paintings, photographs, trophies and models that mark the history of America yachting from the glorious days of huge racing yachts to the present day streamline one-designs. The club’s model room contains over 65 half-models of historic and modern yachts. Additional half models and many stunning full models are displayed throughout the Club.

EASTERN YACHT CLUB BECOMES NSHOF FOUNDING MEMBER

From the commodore:.

“The Eastern Yacht Club is very pleased to be included among the yacht clubs which have become NSHOF Founding Members. Since the beginning, the Eastern has been a leader in yacht racing. The Club is proud that three of its members, Ted Hood, Gary Jobson and Harold Vanderbilt were among the initial NSHOF inductees and that another inductee, Charlie Barr, is the great uncle of one of its current members. The support that the NSHOF will give to sailing through it educational programs and its preservation of yachting history indicates that it will have a critical role in yachting’s future. It deserves the broad support of the yachting community.”

Phil Smith, Commodore

In 1870, twelve Boston gentlemen organized themselves as the Eastern Yacht Club, a club dedicated to the promotion of yachting. Within one month, they had enrolled 110 members with 23 yachts. The Clubhouse on Marblehead Neck was completed in 1881.

From the beginning, the Club became a leader in yacht racing with Puritan, Mayflower, and Volunteer, all flying Eastern colors, successfully defeating their British challengers in the America's Cup in 1885, 1886, and 1887, respectively. The Eastern has hosted a multitude of local, national, and international sailing events from the Sonder class regattas that preceded WWI to the competitive one-design and PHRF races of today, including the Etchells Worlds, Star Worlds, IOD Worlds, Olympic Class Regattas, Viper 640 North Americans, Sonar North Americans, Shields Nationals, and the Soling North Americans, a preliminary race for the '96 Olympics. In 1994 the club received the coveted St. Petersburg Trophy, awarded for the Race Committee's outstanding management of the Star North Americans.

A visit to the Eastern is a walk through yachting history, from the glorious days of the huge racing yachts to the present-day streamlined one-designs. Nearly 130 years of yachting history resides here. Throughout the Clubhouse, you can find trophies and medals marking the Club's illustrious history.

The association was formed in the 1920’s as an opportunity for sailboat racing on the eastern end of the lake. In those days, most regattas were staged at the Western end of the lake making participation difficult for eastern clubs because of the sailing distance and time associated with traveling to the regattas. Smaller clubs on the east end decided to create the EYC regatta which is held annually at one of the member clubs. The regatta moves from club to club and usually is in Canadian waters one year and moves back to the United States the next year.

The format for the regatta is three days of racing. Thursday is a long distance race of approximately thirty to thirty-five nautical miles. On Friday and Saturday course races or “around the buoys racing” are held. Trophies dating back to the 1920’s are presented in each division for both the long distance race and course racing as well as Overall trophies for the distance race, Course racing and combined events. The regatta features PHRF – Lake Ontario Handicapped racing, One- Design Divisions and White Sails division.

The EYC regatta has established a great camaraderie between clubs and racing teams with many skippers and crews participating for twenty to forty plus   years. Moving from club to club allows sailors to visit all the member clubs in a short span of time.

8 Yacht Clubs and Marinas in the Philippines to Moor Your Boat In

FoodfindsAsia.com | 8 Yacht Clubs and Marinas in the Philippines to Moor Your Boat In | Filipinos’ history as a maritime people date back to prehistoric times. In fact, the Philippines’ basic sociopolitical unit today, the barangay, traces its etymological origins to the balangay , the ancient outrigger boats that were used by precolonial Filipino communities to explore and conquer islands this side of the Pacific. As a people belonging to a seafaring culture, it’s no wonder that modern Filipinos are taking a retrospective look at their glorious past as Austronesian mariners and are developing a renewed love for the ocean and marinas as present-day yachtsmen.

Today, Philippine marinas look to accommodate more and more yachts and other pleasure watercrafts as the years go by. In 2017, an ASEAN Briefing op-ed piece named the Philippines as a country with high potential in yacht industry growth. The natural beauty of the Philippine islands and its fantastic bays, combined with a growing interest in leisurely sea travel, can explain the spike in yachting activities throughout the country.

Are you part of the demographic that’s become enamored of the yachting lifestyle? Do you want to know where in the country you can berth your watercraft? Leading sailboat and motorboat authority Europa Yachts is happy to enter the conversation, and recommends the following locations for discovering the Philippines through yachting. Here is a short list of clubs and marinas in the country, organized by island region.  

Manila Yacht Club and Marina, Manila, Metro Manila

Established in 1927, the Manila Yacht Club and Marina is one of the oldest yacht clubs in all of Asia, and is nestled in the scenic Manila Bay. It is also near other well-known landmarks in the city, such as the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP), the headquarters of the Philippine Navy, and the US Embassy. Facilities in the marina include a launching ramp and a fueling center, and the club itself is host to a restaurant and gorgeous function rooms. The Manila Yacht Club only welcomes visitors who arrive by boat, and it charges an initial security deposit of USD 750 upon arrival. Club membership is mandatory for medium and long-term mooring of boats.

Subic Bay Yacht Club, Zambales

The Subic Bay Yacht Club, which was founded in 1998, upholds itself as the country’s premier yacht club. It operates in the deepest bay in the country, and can host vessels well beyond 50 meters in length. Already benefitting from the innate beauty of the Zambales mountains surrounding it, the club hosts a number of other attractions, including its luxury accommodations, swimming pools, and its own movie theater, bowling alley, and nightclub. Those who venture outside of the club’s premises can also shop for well-priced imported goods at the Subic Freeport Zone, engage in water sports , or sign up for diving excursions.

Punta Fuego Yacht Club, Batangas

Peaceful Punta Fuego is a mecca for those who love the sport of sailing. As per its official website, the Punta Fuego Yacht Club aims to serve “a dynamic and vibrant community of boat enthusiasts and yacht owners.” This it does by playing host to a diverse population of watercrafts, from large catamarans and mono-hull yachts to small boats. Non-members of the club may use the berths for up to 3 weeks, and can refuel at the marina’s fueling station. The yacht club offers other amenities such as locker rooms, shower rooms, Internet facilities, a chart room, and a restaurant called Barracuda Bar, which serves delicious fares. Outside of the yachting crowd, Punta Fuego Yacht Club also caters to those wishing to celebrate weddings, conferences, and corporate events in their opulent quarters.

Puerto Galera Yacht Club, Oriental Mindoro

Further south, yachtsmen may moor at the Puerto Galera Yacht Club in Oriental Mindoro, an island location that’s home to tourist attractions like the Sabang Wreck dive site, lively beachfront resorts, and the Malasimbo Music Festival. Puerto Galera Yacht Club has been in operation for almost thirty years and lends services such as refueling provisions and yacht repairs from its marina. Boat owners also enjoy optimal convenience if mooring here, as they can also shop for spare parts in the nearby Batangas port.

Busuanga Yacht Club, Puerta del Sol Bay Marina, Palawan

Beautiful Palawan is a bucket-list destination for many, especially those who dream of cruising its crystalline waters. Accommodating the yachting community in this island province is the Busuanga Yacht Club, which promises secure mooring amidst breathtaking white-sand beaches. Here, each vessel will benefit from a typhoon-safe harbor, easy refueling, and direct access to transportation hubs like the New Busuanga Airport. Adjoining this marina is the Puerta del Sol Bay Resort, which offers luxurious accommodations to visitors. When not atop the deck of a boat, travelers can also explore the lagoons and freshwater lakes of Coron, go shipwreck diving, or relax in the hot springs of Maquinit.

Iloilo Sailing Club, Arevelo, Iloilo City, Iloilo

Iloilo Province is home to some of the country’s most beautiful old-world architecture, a flourishing ecotourism industry, and delectably fresh seafood cuisine. What will round off an unforgettable visit to Iloilo, however, is an excursion to the Iloilo Sailing Club on a leisure watercraft. The club accepts visitors and encourages membership in the case of medium and long-stay mooring. It also hosts a number of amenities and activities, including a dinghy storage, a beach bar and restaurant, and classes for those who want to learn about sailing. In recent months, the Iloilo Sailing Club has also been a convenient meet-up point for big maritime events, such as the Iloilo-Guimaras Paraw Regatta and the Seafarers’ Job Fair.

Cebu Yacht Club, Mactan Island, Cebu

The historic Mactan Island in Cebu was the site of Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan’s arrival in the Philippines. Now known as a commercial hub that hosts a prolific furniture and musical instruments industries, Mactan is also the location of the Cebu Yacht Club, an institution that is beloved by the locals. Aside from being an ideal spot to restock on much-needed fuel and supplies, the Cebu Yacht Club is also a trusted club to commission for boat repairs. There’s a good vibe in this club for everybody, as it sports both luxury accommodations and a waterfront strip of restaurants that laid-back diners can frequent. MINDANAO

Holiday Oceanview Marina, Samal Island, Davao del Norte

The Holiday Oceanview Marina is a major attraction of Samal Island in Davao del Norte Province, one that welcomes Filipino and foreign yachtsmen alike to moor within its premises. The space is quite roomy, in fact, with 56 berths that can fit vessels up to 15 meters in length. The club also has a boat ramp that can accommodate boats up to 18 meters in length. The well-guarded and weather-safe marina is a gateway to some of Mindanao’s finest attractions, such as the Pearl Farm, Hagimit Falls, and Giant Clam Sanctuary.  

There’s no better way to discover the Philippines from end to end than getting onboard a seaworthy vessel and going on a long cruise, with stops in some of the most beautiful places in the country. Find a safe harbor in any of these major clubs and marinas, and participate in the renaissance of sailing in the Philippines.

Moscow Raceway

• 2012 to date

Circuit Overview

Moscow Raceway owes its existence to Russia's desire to host a Formula One race but seems destined to lose out to Sochi and the Igora Drive circuits for the foreseeable future.

Boasting a full FIA Grade 1 Grand Prix layout and and FIM Grade B circuit, the track was initially successful at attracting a range of high-profile championships, from the World Superbikes to World Touring Cars, the DTM and the Blancpain World Series.  One by one these have dropped off the schedule, however, leaving the circuit to host mainly national level events, albeit the most important on Russian racing scene.

Circuit History

Plans for a street race in the Russian capital were first mooted in the 1980s and a Grand Prix of the Soviet Union did in fact make it onto the draft F1 calendar for 1983. However, bureaucratic barriers prevented the Grand Prix from being held, and the race was dropped.

Two decades later, new plans were advanced for a permanent circuit on an island in the Molzhaninovsky area in the north of the city. These received backing from the Moscow mayor, and F1 circuit designer Hermann Tilke was engaged to design the facility. Construction was due to start on November 30th, 2001. However, the mayor rejected the commercial contract offered by Bernie Ecclestone and construction was delayed. It was eventually abandoned altogether in January 2003 and the land turned over to a hotel, yacht marina and golf course instead.

By 2008 momentum had built again for a new project, intended to host both F1 and MotoGP events and located around 90 minutes from the capital. Hermann Tilke was again employed to design the permanent facility. Unlike previous attempts, this project became a reality and on October 1, 2008 a delegation including F1 driver David Coulthard witnessed the ceremonial laying of the first stone.

Construction continued throughout the next few years, supervised by Tilke. After initially signing a deal with Bernie Ecclestone in 2008, the project was dropped from the 2010 Formula 1 calendar in early 2009, and construction stopped. Work resumed in June 2010, with the new contractor agreeing to complete the road section of the track. By September 2011, all asphalt laying had been completed, and construction of the associated pit, support and medical buildings was being undertaken.

When the full circuit and all of its infrastructure was completed in July 2012, it had cost a total of 4.5 billion rubles. Tilke had designed a technical circuit featuring a 873 metres long back straight – among the longest allowable under modern track design guidelines – which would see Formula One cars achieve a theoretical 193mph.

When presented for inspection, the circuit achieved FIA 1(T) status, allowing for Formula One testing and all categories of racing below this. However, the FIM only granted Grade B status, one below the expected level for motorcycle. This still allows for the raceway's inclusion on the World Superbike calendar, though further work will be required before MotoGP could visit.  Subsequently, the track has achieved FIA Grade 1 status, allowing for full Formula One races to take place.

A total of 18 variations of the circuit can be run, from the full Grand Prix course, to shorter 'sprint' variations and a small 'club' circuit utilising the western end only. World Superbikes have utilised the FIM GP course, as has the Renault World Series and WTCC from 2013 onwards (the Renault series' had previously used GP1),  while the DTM makes use of the shorter Sprint Circuit 4.

Tragedy struck the circuit during the first visit of the World Superbike Championships in 2013. During the first lap of the supporting World Supersport race, Italian rider Andrea Antonelli lost control on a slick track during torrential rain. He fell to the ground where he was struck by fellow Italian rider Lorenzo Zanetti, dying from his injuries later the same day. Criticism was levelled at race organisers for beginning the race in such conditions, while the circuit fell under scrutiny for what some felt was inadequate drainage – both claims strongly rejected by championship promoters, Dorna.

Sailors rescued east of Bermuda after racing yacht struck by lightning

PORTSMOUTH, VA (WITN) - Two sailors are safe thanks to the Coast Guard and a nearby ship after their racing yacht was struck by lightning in the Atlantic Ocean.

Coast Guard officials say that they responded to an emergency position indicating radio beacon (EPIRB) from the two sailors on the 19-foot French Racing Yacht Sogestran Seafrigo LHOR One around 6 p.m. on Sunday.

The Coast Guard said that they sent an HC-130 Hercules airplane crew from Elizabeth City to help the boat, and alerted other nearby ships using the Automated Mutual-Assistance Vessel Rescue (AMVER).

The Coast Guard plane arrived at the boat which was 1726 miles east of Bermuda around 4:45 a.m. and was able to direct a 505-foot Reefer ship, the Frio Ionian, to where the yacht was at.

The Frio Ionian crew arrived at 10 a.m. and were able to rescue two men, 20 and 24 years old, from the Sogestran Seafrigo LHOR One. The two men said that their boat started taking on water after a lightning strike reportedly caused a hole in the hull.

According to the Coast Guard, the Sogestran Seafrigo LHOR One was sailing from Guadeloupe to France. The yacht was returning to France after finishing first at the Royal Ocean Racing Club Caribbean 600 Class 40 in Antigua.

Restaurant-Yacht Chaika

Ratings and reviews, location and contact.

Pleasantly surprised, service is good so is the food. Great selection of Fusion food, a mixture of Italian, Japanese, European, Asian etc. A pleasantly nice dining experience, highly recommended, a must try!

Thank you for your feedback and invite you to have lunch or dinner again aboard the ship in an atmosphere of high standards of yacht hospitality.

everything was perfect - the food, the service, the desserts were the best, nice atmosphere and the location - magical

Best food, best view in Moscow. absolutely faultless from arrival to finish. Best risotto i had for many years absolutely perfectly cooked. The view on Ukrainian hotel and the white house by night is amazing

Had to wait for the food for 1.5 hours and then another 20 minutes for the check. Finally called for the manager and he offered... a 10% discount as a compensation. Simply pathetic! The food is mediocre at best. Not bad per se, but one... would expect something better considering the prices. There are many places to eat in area that are much better. Avoid this one at all costs.

Hello, Alexander Your comment is extremely important for us, thank you a lot for it. We are terribly sorry for your time that you`ve spent waiting your order and we have already taken actions to improve quality of our service and it would be realy... More

Food is very expensive,very pretentious, doesn't worth that money. Portions are very small. We ordered ravioli and there were 4! Four raviolis! For almost 15 euros. Then we asked to bring us dessert menu but nothing, they didn't even bothered, so we payed and left... without dessert. Very poor service for that price. More

This is a very good restaurant. The food is really good, maybe the best in Moscow. The service is also good. The view from the restaurant is great. The prices are very high.

I often visit this restaurant and must say it’s one of the best in Moscow in terms of quality and service. Staff really try hard to make sure that you are happy and satisfied. Customer service is a huge problem in Moscow but Chaika sets... a great example for others in the industry! Food is delicious and the menu has lots of options for everyone! Atmosphere is great and view is beautiful on the embankment. Special thanks to German & Oleg! More

Thank you for your feedback! Again aboard the yacht restaurant "Chaika" in accordance with the high standards of yacht hospitality.

Highly recommended, great location in the city center of Moscow with a superb atmosphere. Too many menu choices, though all delicious!

Thx a lot for your review! We are looking forward to see you in our restaurants.

Visited this lovely restaurant with a friend of mine. It was relaxingly warm August evening - so the place on the river seemed like a good idea. We came quite early and the restaurant was not full. The hostesses kindly offered several places to sit... and we chose to sit on the sofas. We had some wine, which was good. We struggled a bit when deciding about the food as few options (scallops) were not available. Fish on ice on display did not look very fresh. To be honest it was an unusually hot August and it is probably understandable that some see food options were not available. However, we did manage to order something and sat waiting and looking onto the river. My long-legged friend struggled sitting at the low sofa and the manager noticed that, offering as a very good, proper table beside the open window. It was nice touch and I was very pleased by their polite observations and immediate reaction to solve the problem. Food was quite good and presentation was perfect. Perhaps I can something about the food, but 1 visit is not enough to criticize or make a definitive opinion. Overall, quality place, which of course, does not come cheap. I would recommend this restaurant without hesitation. More

Good afternoon! Thank you for your detailed feedback! We are looking forward to seeing you again, we are sure that you will be delighted with our dishes!

I've been here several times during two business trip in Moscow. The overall quality for both service and food is absolutely top-notch, plus the location is very unique.

Hello! Thank you for your feedback! We are looking forward to visiting again!

Located on a boat at Krasnopresenskaya River Bank this 5 Star Restaurant transforms into a party location due to multiple groups hosting events. Impressive wine selection, Asian and European kitchen...

Thx a lot! We are waiting for you!

It is a nice place to gather specially at the lounge The service and staff very good I like the river view The food is almost like all restaurants in Russia they serve different cuisine. Staring Russian appetizer till Asian dishes Presentation and taste amazing... I consider it overpriced little bit More

Good location. Nice views. Good choice of food and drinks. European and Asian menu. Nice service. Pricey enough.

Had a large group dinner here. Food was above average and service quite good. The real attraction is the view of Moscow from the river on a nice night. Great place for a larger group dinner. More

Hello, John We are really pleased by reading that you and your friends were satisfied by our service, client`s experience is the highest value for us. We will be happy to see you again, come and enjoy some new dishes from our chef and nice... More

The luxurious atmosphere of this place, the view and the location make it quite outstanding. We had dinner here with friends and the dishes were amazing, accompanied by a chilled bottle of Chablis, it really made me feel as if it was a part of... the classic Russian movie. More

Marussia f1 team return to russia for moscow city racing, andy webb, marussia ceo: we have seen the strength of that support again in the last few days following the very pleasing announcement of our new powertrain partnership with scuderia ferrari..

Max Chilton, Marussia F1 Team MR02

Despite the three-week gap between Rounds 9 and 10 of the FIA Formula 1 World Championship® the Marussia F1 Team has had little time to draw breath, embarking on a series of promotional events to reward the loyal support of its fans.

This week, while the race team conduct the Young Driver Test at Silverstone, the demonstration team are heading ‘home’ to Russia for their second year of participation in ‘Moscow City Racing’.

The event takes place on 20 and 21 July, with the demonstration runs scheduled for Sunday 21 July on the streets surrounding the Kremlin and the ‘paddock’ located close to Red Square.

Visitors will also be given the opportunity to enter the inner-sanctum - the Paddock - to soak up the atmosphere and see for themselves the intricacies of Formula 1 design and engineering.

Aside from his on-track duties, Max will participate in a range of promotional activities, taking time out to mingle with the Russian fans during autograph sessions and photo opportunities.

Supporting the Marussia F1 Team over the weekend are main event partner Liga Stavok along with additional partners Instaforex, QNet and RBC.

Max Chilton: “There have been quite a few ‘firsts’ for me in my debut season in Formula One - new racetracks, new cities, meeting new fans - and Moscow City Racing will be my very first visit to Russia. I can’t wait. From what I hear from previous events, the demonstration runs are a fantastic spectacle and the crowd is huge and very supportive.

That’s nice, because we are the only Anglo-Russian team and it is good to keep building on their love of Formula 1 before Russia gets its very own race next year in Sochi. I’m really excited about making the trip and I hope to meet as many of the Russian fans as possible, when I’m not driving through their streets!”

Andy Webb, CEO: “The Marussia F1 Team are very excited to be returning to Russia to participate in the Moscow City Racing event for a second successive year. As the only Anglo-Russian team in Formula One, this event has become a very important date in our Team calendar, as we continue our determined efforts to bring more of F1 to Russia and more of Russia to F1.

This is our opportunity to get closer to the fans and for them to see our car and drivers right on their doorstep, not just on the TV. Our drivers Jules Bianchi and Max Chilton are enjoying a flying start to their exciting debut seasons and the Marussia F1 Team really is going from strength to strength now, making good progress towards its long-term ambitions.

We look forward to a fantastic crowd in Moscow and to expressing our thanks for all the incredible support we receive ‘back home’ in Russia. We have seen the strength of that support again in the last few days following the very pleasing announcement of our new powertrain partnership with Scuderia Ferrari. It seems the fans share our optimism for the future of the Marussia F1 Team.”
