Congratulations on taking first place, Young Guns! This team from CYC was undefeated in the Corinthian Young Guns Team Race at Seawanhaka Yacht Club on Long Island, NY. CYC was one of six participating yacht clubs, including Ida Lewis Yacht Club, Noroton Yacht Club, New York Yacht Club, Seawanhaka, and the Royal Thames Yacht Club. The field of teams was competitive, showcasing several All-Americans.

From the team: "Long Island Sound provided classic summer conditions: light and lots of current. We were able to complete one round robin on Saturday, during which we were undefeated with 5 wins. Sunday brought very light winds and thunderstorms in the area. After sailing 2 light and shifty races of the knockout series, the regatta was concluded for the day with not enough breeze to sail and complete the series."

The team, supported by the CYC Foundation's Competition Fund, was represented by: Will Curtiss, Will Holz, Malcolm Lamphere, Bridget Groble, Ray Groble, Alex Honke, Alex Woloshyn, Rose Edwards, Addy Ferguson, Abby McFadyen, and Aisling Sullivan. Nine team members are graduates of the Chicago Yacht Club Junior Sailing program. 

The Competition Fund is a separate fund the Foundation maintains to support Chicago-area sailors competing in national and international races.
