Video Highlights: Rolex New York Yacht Club Invitational Cup

The Rolex New York Yacht Club Invitational Cup is a biennial competition between yacht clubs, with strict eligibility rules ensuring that each team is comprised almost exclusively of amateur sailors who are members of the club they represent.

The playing field is level – boats (Swan 42s) and sails are provided and the rig tune is standardized across the fleet.

For the 2017 edition, amateur sailors representing 14 yacht clubs from eight countries and five continents competed September 12 to 16 at the New York Yacht Club Harbour Court, in Newport, R.I.
