NEW YORK YACHT CLUB
The New York Yacht Club, founded in 1844, is one of the world’s leading yacht clubs. The Club was instrumental in the early days of recreational yachting and created the sport’s biggest event, the America’s Cup, a trophy which the Club held for 132 years. In 1988, the Club purchased Harbour Court, the former home of Commodore John Nicholas Brown, to be its waterfront facility. Over the past three decades, New York Yacht Club Harbour Court has become one of the premiere regatta destinations in North America, regularly hosting prestigious national and international championships. Our comprehensive events schedule caters to a wide range of sailing disciplines, including one-design, handicap, classics, team racing, cruising, and more. The season is anchored by signature events such as the Rolex NYYC Invitational Cup, the Annual Regatta, Queen’s Cup, Race Week at Newport presented by Rolex and the annual trio of team races, the Morgan Cup, Hinman Masters and NYYC Grandmasters.
The majestic Harbour Court clubhouse sits atop a hill overlooking Newport Harbor as well as the Club’s docks and vast lawn area. The land-side operations are as impressive as the on-the-water activities, and post-sailing social events are a must-attend for all competitors. Tented events for 500 people or more are regular occurrences, and the skill with which they are executed is unrivaled.
In addition to locally hosted events, NYYC has a vibrant Cruising Committee that executes trips around the world. From fully crewed expeditions in exotic locations to local rendezvous with private or chartered boats with member’s at the helm, the cruising opportunities are ample and cater to all cruising interests.
