Sailors love competing in the 2016 Race Week at Newport presented by ROLEX​ because of the high-quality racing, conditions, and the camaraderie among the sailors.

The first day of NYYC Race Week presented by ROLEX is a tale of two extremes: the fast flying, modern multihull and GUNBOATcatamarans, and the sleek, classic, antique yachts. Under gray skies and light conditions, the crews of 34 boats faced the highs and lows of the challenging conditions. Coverage: Degan Media

Lots of distance and drama for the GUNBOAT and Multihull Fleet today. Two long distance race courses sent the catamarans out of Narragansett Bay into the Rhode Island Sound, and the start of the Race 2 sent two race boats, Arethusa, and Tribe, to the Newport Shipyard with significant damage to their hulls. ‪#‎nyycrwan‬ ‪#‎newportri‬ ‪#‎gunboat‬ ‪#‎nyyc‬ ‪#‎multihull‬ ‪#‎crash‬ Discover Newport Coverage: Degan Media
