NYYC Robert H. Tiedemann Classics Regatta

Around the Island

June 26, 2021

The New York Yacht Club hosted the Robert H. Tiedemann Classics Regatta as part of the ongoing 50th year Herreshoff celebrations this summer. This was the first Tiedemann regatta after a few year hiatus. The event began with an Around the Island Regatta on Saturday June 26 for all the classes except the S-Class who ran on a separate course. Though foggy conditions prevailed during the start of the morning a fresh breeze filled in resulting in great sailing conditions for the completion of the Around the Island and all the Saturday racing. The following are the class winners.
