CYCS Maine District Recap

Across five Maine regattas this summer, 127 boats competed under the CRF rating rule. Of those, 20 boats qualified for the Classic Yacht Challenge Series (CYCS) Maine District Awards by participating in the required number of races.

Congratulations to the winners below. Awards will be presented in October, details to follow. Up next: Corinthian Classic Yacht Regatta, Nantucket Regattas, and Opera House Cup, which will make up the rest of the Massachusetts events.

CRF Maine Division Standings

Note: Some regattas group boats differently for racing purposes. For Series scoring, we re-sort the results by CRF Division listed on the boat's Certificate by Corrected Time not the original event class place. Therefore, a finish position at a regatta might differ from the Series Division standing. Also, we remove the ERR Handicap.
