We look forward to sharing the beauty of Nantucket and her waters with you. Thank you for coming! This program celebrates the winners and participants from last year’s Nantucket Race Week and the Opera House Cup Regatta and gives you everything you need to know about this year’s racing and social events. We are excited to welcome all sailors in the Nantucket community to join us for our inaugural Harbor Rendezvous on Sunday, August 12th. We are also pleased to welcome all our competitors, including young Opti and 420 racers; lasers, Hobies and kite boarders; the local one design fleets; the IOD Celebrity Invitational guest tacticians and amateur teams; and the big boat regatta competitors ranging from Alerions and Wianno Seniors to schooners and majestic classic yachts. Don’t forget that you can go aboard and admire some of these beautiful classics up close, when they will be on display to the public for the 5th Classic Yacht Exhibition on Saturday, August 18th. You will also learn about Nantucket Community Sailing, whose mission is to provide Nantucket youth with affordable access to sailing with scholarships and free community outreach programs. Nantucket Race Week is the major fundraiser for NCS, and your participation in Nantucket Race Week helps NCS fund these initiatives. Whether you are a sponsor, a volunteer, a housing host, a racing participant or you shop for NRW merchandise – thank you! We are pleased to welcome our new and returning sponsors of Nantucket Race Week and to welcome back Panerai as the title sponsor of the Opera House Cup for the 13th year. We’re also honored to welcome back our NRW Honorary Chair, Gary Jobson, and the amazing volunteers who make this week possible by doing everything from race management to support boats to housing to merchandise and social events. Lastly, we are proud to celebrate our tenth year of running Nantucket Race Week as a Clean Regatta, and look forward to receiving a Gold Level certification for the 9th year from Sailors for the Sea. Let the racing begin! Have a great week and thank you for supporting Nantucket Community Sailing.
