It is the 14th Annual High Performance Regatta, originally named the “HPDO”, the regatta has been renamed to indicate the focus on a wider array of boats. Commodore Andy Giglia commented on this regatta, “the membership of AYC is aware of the changing landscape of sailing and to further support our mission statement ‘enhancing our heritage of leadership in the sport of sailing and furthering the growth of the sport’, we are committed to help lead that change.”
“We are working very hard to provide a competitor focused event. Our objective is to maximize the number of races and we will be embracing a short course/ high volume format. All of this with the New York city skyline in the background and the great shore side facilities AYC has always been known for,” said Rich Hulit, the event Co-Chairman.
