SI #751 - NYYC V/C Clare Harrington live from Newport, RI with the Resolute Cup latest

SAILING ILLUSTRATED #751 (Fri 13 Sep 2024) - The Resolute Cup was first run in 2010 as the U.S. Qualifying Series for the Rolex NYYC Invitational Cup. The biennial regatta, which is sailed out of New York Yacht Club-Harbour Court, has since developed an identity of its own. Yacht clubs from around the USA send their best amateur sailors to Newport to compete for national bragging rights and the possibility of a trip to next year's Invitational Cup, sailing's premiere international Corinthian big-boat regatta. All competitors must be both World Sailing Group 1 competitors (i.e., amateur sailors) and full members of the club they are representing. NYYC's Resolute Cup wraps up Saturday. We are very pleased to have Vice Comm. Clare Harrington (USA) joining us live from Newport, RI to update us with the latest. We will also ask V/C Harrington for her thoughts on Barcelona, she having just returned to the States from there. And we will know Friday morning who the Brits have chosen as their opponent in the LV Cup Semis, which begin Saturday morning. So TFE will offer up his preview of what he expects in the racing this Sat-Sun-Mon. Suffice to say the forecast looks light to marginal. Join us for all this and other yacht racing news, views and notables hosted by Tom Ehman (USA), with Julia Wedekind (USA), Jon Emmett (GBR), Alistair Murray (AUS) and The FOSI. Our twice-weekly live webcast airs Tuesdays and Fridays at 13:00 Pacific on Facebook (fb.com/sailingillustratedblog) and the Sailing Illustrated TV YouTube channel, or watch a replay on-demand later.
