Team NHYC at the Morgan Cup Regatta
The 2023 Morgan Cup was yet another great success for team NHYC both on and off the water. This event is a 3v3 team race in Sonars with a total of 10 teams competing. Hosted by New York Yacht Club, the Morgan Cup is always an awesome event, with stunning Newport (the other Newport) weather, a great fleet of boats, and unforgettable social gatherings. Team NHYC was made up of a top notch squad with a level of crew work that other teams were only able to dream about. Fighting through the round robin and quarter finals, we were really beginning to find our stride come the semi finals. Stacking up against a star studded NYYC team, we put our heads down to close out a best of 3 match in 2 straight wins. Unfortunately, come the finals match up, we forgot how a starting line works and let the Eastern squad have two easy ones. It was a tough ending to an otherwise strong performance, but team NHYC most certainly showed the strongest boat handling/crew work out of any team. We will be back again next year to bring home the cup. Thank you NHSF for the continued support of team NHYC!
