Team racing amateurs need not apply

Fourteen teams will be at the 2025 U.S. Team Racing Championship on September 26-28 in Larchmont, NY. The 3v3 format using 420s has attracted a who’s-who of college and post-college talent.

More than one-fourth of the competitors are College All Americans, including six College Sailor of the Year winners who will be vying for the title: Justin Callahan (2025), Jack Egan (2023), Shawn Harvey (2022), Jack Parkin (2020), Stefano Peschiera (2018), and Graham Landy (2014).

Standout competitors also include Quantum Women’s Sailor of the Year winners Vanessa Lahrkamp (2024, 2025) and Sophia Reineke (2022) along with Quantum Women’s Crew of the Year recipients Anisha Arcot (2023) and Marbella Marlo (2024).

Returning champions Los Huevos—Justin Callahan, Marbella Marlo, Mitchell Callahan, Sara Schumann, Lachlain McGranahan, and Libby Redmond—are seeking back-to-back titles. The team brings extensive experience on the water outside of the Hinman as well, having captured the 2024 and 2025 College Open Team Race Championships.

Vanessa Lahrkamp, winner of the 2025 ICSA Women’s Team Racing Championship and two-time Quantum Women’s Sailor of the Year, is making her first bid for the trophy, hoping to carry the momentum from the women’s circuit to the national stage.

“Team racing has been, and continues to be, one of the major forces at Larchmont Yacht Club,” said Event Chair Ed Padin. “With our fleets of z420s, Sonars, and Ideal 18s, we are able to participate in and host team racing events year after year.

“Team racing has also been a means by which we attract and maintain younger members who are the future of our 144-year-old Club. Our members are pulling out all the stops to make the 2025 USTRC one of the best ever and we welcome sailors and guests to come to Larchmont Yacht Club to enjoy the stadium viewing of this year’s Hinman racing right off our front lawn.”
