New York Yacht Club 1 won the Morgan Cup Team Race Invitational, hosted at the NYYC's Harbour Court, August 22-24.
New York was tied with Pequot Yacht Club, of Southport, CT, but won by virtue of a tie-breaker. After Pequot were Seawanhaka Corinthian Yacht Club, of Oyster Bay NY, and then Newport Harbor Yacht Club. In fifth place was Southern Yacht Club, of New Orleans, that beat New York Yacht Club 2 by virtue of a tie-breaker. Then came Larchmont Yacht Club, Larchmont, NY, and Boston Yacht Club.
Sailing for NYYC 1 were Colin Gordon, team captain, Ben Kinney, Ned Jones, Martha Carleton, Robbie Richards, Senet Bischoff, Stu Saffer, Monique Roeder, Clay Bischoff, Joe Aleardi, Brit Bischoff and Brian Fox. This is the NYYC's fourth win in as many years.
The Morgan Cup was presented by the members of the New York Yacht Club to J. P. Morgan as a token of esteem and mark of appreciation for his service to the club as commodore, 1919-1921. It is dedicated as the perpetual award for the winning team of the New York Yacht Club Morgan Cup Team Race Invitational.
