The one-of-a-kind biennial event, with racing scheduled for July 15-23, splits its racing format, giving the first half of the week (July 15-18) over to handicap racing under IRC, PHRF and the NYYC Cruising Rule, with a division for Classics and 12 Metres as well. The second half (July 20-23) is devoted to one-design racing, where four classes--Beneteau First 36.7, J/109, Farr 395 and Farr 40--will vie for their North American Championships, and another--Melges 32--will crown a national champion. An Around-the-Island Race (July 19) splits the two sessions and is scored separately. |
