(Larchmont, NY)- While American YC’s HPR Regatta will be taking place
off Rye, NY, their “next door” neighbors on western Long Island Sound-
Larchmont YC- will be hosting what has become the most wildly popular
event in the college sailing season across the America’s and Europe!
That is the Storm Trysail Club’s annual Intercollegiate Offshore Regatta
(a.k.a. the “college big boat” regatta)! This year’s event will be held on the weekend of October 7th and 8th at the Larchmont Yacht Club in Larchmont, New York. This is an invitational event and will feature racing in approximately five classes of offshore yachts: J/105, J/109, J/44, PHRF 35 foot-boats and IRC 40-boats.
The event has grown every year and last year the event was able to accommodate almost 400 college sailors. European teams have come from France, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. In addition, several colleges from Canada fielded crews and from the USA teams came from literally every corner of America and the Great Lakes- from west to east and north to south!
Thanks to the high-quality list of sponsors, some private donations, and the generosity of participating boat owners, Storm Trysail Foundation and Larchmont Yacht Club are able to run this regatta at no cost for the college sailing teams! The sponsors include Rolex, North Sails, Gill North America, Safe Flight Instruments, Flintrock Construction, and Dimension-Polyant.
