Game time for NYYC Invitational Cup

Held biennially, the ninth edition of the Rolex New York Yacht Club Invitational Cup is ready with 20 amateur teams to race the club’s IC37s on September 9-13 in Newport, RI. The forecast is for mostly sunny skies, seasonable temperatures, and predominantly light to moderate winds.

It’s the sort of conditions where almost every team feels comfortable, but with three consecutive podium finishes, culminating with winning in 2023, San Diego Yacht Club is at the top of the list of favorites for the 2025 edition.

“San Diego has done very well at this event,” says Jake La Dow, the team’s tactician in 2019 and 2021. “We want to keep building on that. We’re still hungry to keep getting better.” – Full report
