Newport Regatta Rocks the East Coast



Sailors from 21 US states and eight countries gathered in Newport for Sail Newport’s annual Newport Regatta on July 11-13, featuring Bacardi Newport Race Week with long-term sponsors Heineken and new sponsor Helly Hansen. The mammoth event on four circles of racing on Narragansett Bay, in its 31st year, requires over 100 volunteers and partnerships with New York Yacht Club, Ida Lewis Yacht Club, Newport Yacht Club and Barrington Yacht Club. Racing couldn’t have been much tighter for the top three VX Ones, as just two points separated them in the end. Robby Brown’s VX Racing came out on top with 14 net points in the nine races. Tim Desmond and Brian Bennett’s Satisfaction was just one point behind in second place. And just one point further behind in third was the Chuck Wagon team of Phip Hallowell and Chuck Brown. 11 VX Ones were registered. For complete results click here.
