American Yacht Club is pleased to announce that they will host the 2009 J105 North Americans sponsored by Subaru from October 29 - November 1st in Rye, NY. The Organizing Committee is expecting over 50 boats representing both coasts, the Midwest, South and Canada. Several past winners of premiere racing venues such as Key West, Annapolis and Block Island have already signed up to compete this year.
"This is a very competitive fleet. New teams are entering each year, which helps to raise everyone's game. We expect this year to be another memorable competition." commented Joerg Esdorn, Event Co-Chair. American Yacht Club has excellent facilities to handle a large regatta ­ they ran 84 race days in 2008, including their annual, Spring and Fall Regattas each over two weekends, attracting over 100 boats racing in 10-12 divisions in two circles, with over 90 starts.
October and November are among the best months for sailing in Long Island Sound. Wind speeds of 20-30 knots and beyond can be expected on frontal boundaries. AYC is located on the tip of a peninsula, overlooking Western Long Island Sound with the New York City skyline in the background.
