We had the absolute best experience hosting our wedding at Mallard Island Yacht Club. The venue is stunning and the team, led by Gianna, is simply unbelievable in their dedication and professionalism. Communication was a 10/10 - Gianna responded to every question almost immediately and kept us totally at ease during planning. The quality of their work and value is also 100/10. They are the hardest working team and truly made our wedding day perfect. I can't thank Gianna enough for running Mallard like a well-oiled machine and making our dreams come true with her attention to every last detail. She placed us at ease and I followed her every lead and recommendation and because of her worked with the greatest vendors in the wedding game! If you're looking for a fairytale venue with a team that will go the extra miles to make your vision a reality, Mallard Island Yacht Club is it!

By New York Yacht Club

Twenty-five short-course races in three days in winds that rarely topped 10 knots are more than enough to fray the nerves of the most experienced and tranquil sailor. But when it came down to brass tacks on the final day of the  Hinman Masters Team Race , held this past weekend at the New York Yacht Club Harbour Court in Newport, R.I., the key was to forget what was on the line and all the hard work required to get to that point and stay calm. “When you’re thinking about that kind of a situation, where everybody’s finishing at the same time in an important race, you’re really trying to relax and just make your boat stay in the right spot, be legal, not foul, and get across the line in front of the competition,” says Brian Doyle (above, center), who led the host New York Yacht Club to its third consecutive win. “When it’s that close, and everyone’s shooting the line, you never know how the results are going to come out. But we came out on top by inches.”

The race Doyle references was sailed earlier today between Southern Yacht Club and New York Yacht Club. After three grueling round robins among all eight teams and going into a mini round robin among the top four teams, Southern and New York were tied at the sharp end of the leaderboard with 17 points apiece. In this race, the advantage repeatedly shifted between the two teams. As all six boats approached the finish line, it was impossible to tell which team had the edge. The race turned on the battle for fifth place, which was ultimately decided within feet of the finish line. While each team still had two races remaining, the odds for the overall win had tipped decidedly in favor of the New York Yacht Club, which secured the victory by splitting its final two races. Southern Yacht Club finished second—on the podium for the fifth straight year. Eastport Yacht Club took third and Seawanhaka Corinthian Yacht Club finished fourth.

The New York Yacht Club helped usher in a new era of adult team racing with the creation of the  New York Yacht Club Invitational Team Race Regatta for the Commodore George R. Hinman Masters Trophy  in 2000. That race, which requires skippers to be at least 45 years of age and crew to be over 40, was soon followed by the  New York Yacht Club Invitational Team Race Regatta for the Morgan Cup , an all-ages event, in 2003 and, in 2010, the  New York Yacht Club Grandmasters Team Race Regatta , which mandates skippers be at least 60 years of age and crew at least 50. The three team races are traditionally held over consecutive weekends in August at the New York Yacht Club Harbour Court, using the Club’s fleet of 22 Sonar keelboats, and annually attract some of the best adult team racers in the United States and Europe. New York Yacht Club Regatta Association sponsors for 2024 include  Helly Hansen ,  Peters & May ,  Hammetts Hotel  and  Safe Harbor Marinas .

To a spectator, team racing can seem loud and contentious, which is at least partially due to the quantity of starts, mark roundings and finishes that go into an average day. There’s simply a lot more racing, in tight quarters, on short courses, than in a typical fleet-race regatta. For the victorious New York Yacht Club team, however, the key to success lay in familiarity and quiet.

“Our team’s been sailing together for several years, and we work really well together,” says Doyle. “We know what each other’s going to do. There’s not a lot of conversation between boats or even on the boats. We’re just boathandling well and consistently making moves to move up our teammates. And with that kind of teamwork, it works out well in the end.”

Of the 13 sailors who raced on Doyle’s squad this year, six raced together in the previous three editions of the Hinman Masters while another three sailed two of the previous three years. That experience and trust was essential for a regatta with predominantly light and variable winds.

“No win was ever secure, because as soon as you turned downwind, anything could happen,” says Doyle. “[On the final day] we had the wind coming over Goat Island, which made it even more tenuous, puffy and shifty all the way down the run. It didn’t matter if you were 1-2-3 [at the top mark], you could get overtaken.”

With the win, its ninth in the 25-year-history of the regatta, the New York Yacht Club widened its commanding lead in the overall win column. Southern stands second, with four. But the competition this year was as close as ever, a testament to the continued interest in this discipline and the growing collective skill level of the competitors.

“Adult team racing, though 25 years of the Hinman Masters, has grown substantially,” says Doyle. “It’s really exciting. There’s more and more clubs now with fleets of boats, particularly Sonars, which is great, because they maneuver well and they’re great for team racing. We just heard that some more yacht clubs are purchasing fleets this year, so adult team racing is going to continue to grow.”

The New York Yacht Club’s 2024 team racing schedule will conclude with the  New York Yacht Club Grandmasters Team Race , which starts on Friday, August 23, and runs through Sunday. Ten teams are scheduled to participate in this event, which mandates that skippers be at least 60 years of age and crew 50 or older.

Experience and Poise Lift New York Yacht Club to Third Straight Hinman Masters Trophy

In the world of competitive sailing, where precision and poise often decide the outcome, 25 short-course races over three days in winds that barely reached 10 knots would test even the most seasoned sailors. Yet, when the stakes were highest on the final day of the Hinman Masters Team Race at the New York Yacht Club Harbour Court in Newport, R.I., the key to victory lay not in brute strength or speed but in maintaining composure under pressure.

“When you’re in a situation like that, with everyone finishing at the same time in a crucial race, you really focus on staying calm,” said Brian Doyle, the skipper who led the New York Yacht Club to its third consecutive win. “You just try to keep your boat in the right position, stay within the rules, and cross the line ahead of your rivals. When it’s that close, and everyone’s sprinting to the finish, you never know how it’ll shake out. But we edged it by inches.”

Doyle’s reference points to a nail-biting race between Southern Yacht Club and New York Yacht Club earlier today. With the two teams tied atop the leaderboard after three grueling round robins and entering a mini round robin among the top four teams, every inch mattered. The race saw the lead shift back and forth, with all six boats converging on the finish line simultaneously. Ultimately, it was a battle for fifth place, decided mere feet from the finish, that tipped the scales in favor of New York. The club secured the overall win by splitting its final two races, while Southern Yacht Club, finishing second, stood on the podium for the fifth consecutive year. Eastport Yacht Club claimed third place, and Seawanhaka Corinthian Yacht Club finished fourth.

Since its inception in 2000, the Hinman Masters Team Race has become a staple in the evolution of adult team racing, requiring skippers to be at least 45 years old and crew members over 40. This regatta, along with the Morgan Cup and the Grandmasters Team Race, forms the New York Yacht Club’s trio of prestigious team races, drawing top talent from the United States and Europe each August.

To an observer, team racing might seem chaotic, with the cacophony of starts, mark roundings, and finishes in close quarters. However, for the victorious New York Yacht Club team, the path to success was paved by familiarity and understated communication.

“Our team has been together for several years, and we’ve developed a strong bond,” said Doyle. “We anticipate each other’s moves, so there’s not a lot of chatter, just solid boat handling and teamwork that consistently puts us in the right spots. That’s what got us through in the end.”

Doyle’s squad, with six of its 13 sailors having raced together in the previous three Hinman Masters, leaned heavily on their shared experience, especially in the light and variable winds that defined this year’s regatta.

“No lead was safe because as soon as you headed downwind, anything could happen,” Doyle noted. “On the final day, the wind was coming over Goat Island, making it puffy and shifty all the way down. You could be leading at the top mark, but that didn’t guarantee a win.”

With this victory—its ninth in the 25-year history of the event—the New York Yacht Club extended its lead in the regatta’s all-time standings. Southern Yacht Club remains a strong second, with four wins, but this year’s razor-thin margins underscore the growing competitiveness in adult team racing.

“Adult team racing has really blossomed over the 25 years of the Hinman Masters,” Doyle said. “It’s exciting to see more clubs getting involved, especially with fleets of Sonars, which are ideal for team racing. We’ve heard that more clubs are investing in fleets this year, so the future of adult team racing looks bright.”

The New York Yacht Club’s 2024 team racing season will culminate with the Grandmasters Team Race from August 23 to 25, featuring ten teams competing under the leadership of skippers aged 60 and older.

Final Results:

• New York Yacht Club – Doyle, 19 wins
• Southern Yacht Club, 18 wins
• Eastport Yacht Club, 16 wins
• Seawanhaka Corinthian Yacht Club, 16 wins
• New York Yacht Club – Singsen, 9 wins
• Annapolis Yacht Club, 7 wins
• Riverside Yacht Club, 7 wins
• St. Petersburg Yacht Club, 4 wins
