2011 New York Yacht Club Invitational Cup presented by Rolex (September 13-17) hosted 22 yacht club teams – representing 16 nations from six different continents. Eleven races using identically matched NYYC Swan 42s were sailed on Rhode Island Sound and Narragansett Bay and there was no stealing the gold away from Royal Canadian Yacht Club (RCYC) on the final day of racing at the 2011 New York Yacht Club Invitational Cup presented by Rolex. For the fourth consecutive day RCYC flew the Rolex gold spinnaker indicating their position at the top of the standings. The Toronto-based team would convert their 10-point lead over the defending champions – New York Yacht Club – into a win by 20 points when they were first across the finish line in the 11th race of the series.
