Two days were sailed in cold, pouring rain, and the water temperature was 65 degrees. The first 7 races were sailed in 12-18 mph breezes which lightened up for the final 2 races. In the 6th race, the wind shifted 180 degrees on the first weather leg, turning the race around.

INTRODUCTION: "THE OLDEST CONTINUOUS TROPHY IN SPORTS" 2 One-hundred and thirty-seven ounces of solid silver, standing over two feet tall, this "One Hundred Guinea Cup" created under the authorization of Queen Victoria in 1848 is physically what is at stake at every America's Cup regatta.3 However, it is the dignity, honor, and national pride that attach to the victor of this cherished objet d'art that have been the desire of the yacht racing community since its creation. 4 Unfortunately, this desire often turns to envy and has driven some to abandon concepts of sportsmanship and operate by "greed, commercialism and zealotry."5 When these prin- ciples clash "the outcome of the case [will be] dictated by elemental legal principles."6 1.

    AVALON YACHT CLUB RACING TEAM INFORMATION (2021) We encourage all sailors in our AYC Junior Sailing Program to join the Racing Team and participate in the South Jersey Summer Series (SJSS) Junior Regattas. The SJSS is a series of events that take place on Thursdays throughout the summer at locations between Cooper River and Cape May, New Jersey. Regattas are hosted by member yacht clubs of the Mid-Atlantic Yacht Racing Association (MAYRA), including the Avalon Yacht Club. The AYC Racing Team is made up primarily of sailors in our Level III, IV, and V Optimist classes, the Intermediate/Advanced Sunfish class, and the Laser & Club 420 class. In addition, Level II Optimist sailors compete when they are ready in the Green Fleet races, which are sailed separately on simple courses close to shore as fun, low-key introductions to competitive sailing. The number of AYC sailors participating in the MAYRA SJSS regattas has grown in recent years. The team has traveled with as many as forty sailors, thirty boats, a dozen Instructors, two patrol boats, and all of the accompanying sails, spars, blades, bailers, dollies, trailers, and other equipment needed to support the team. The Racing Team’s efforts demonstrate how sailing at the Club is a team activity, and our sailors, instructors, and parents come together and create memories that last all winter and beyond. In an effort to outline the expectations of everyone involved in making the AYC Racing Team possible, we have highlighted some of the responsibilities below. Sailors on the Racing Team are

The 6-Metre class made its North American debut on these waters in 1915 during the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, and we are thrilled to celebrate 101 years of “elegance & performance” on the Bay. An extraordinary team has worked hard to make this regatta one for the ages. We acknowledge Commodore Kimball Livingston, Club General Manager JJ West, and Director of Race Lynn Lynch for their standard-setting levels of Let your financial dreamsset sail. hospitality and regatta management. With both Classic and Modern “ruled” 6-Metres participating in as many as nine races in the days to come, consistent performance promises to outweigh luck, a missed tide line or a fortuitous wind shift. At regatta’s end, the winning teams will be presented with prestigious fixtures, and all will carry away the thrill of competition on our beautiful San Francisco Bay. May the best team win, and may the Corinthian spirit continue to flourish.
