The 2010 NYYC IC U.S. Qualifying Series is an invitational fleet racing regatta to be sailed in Sonars and J/22s for qualifying and consolation rounds. Twenty-four yacht club teams from around the country has been divided by draw into two twelve-team groups. After a two-day Preliminary Series, the top six in each group will meet in the Championship Series in Sonars, with the top three teams in the final series qualifying for an invitation to the NYYC Invitational Cup held in Swan 42 Class yachts in September 2011. The bottom six in each group will meet in a consolation series in J/22s. This series is the only opportunity for U.S. Yacht Clubs to earn an invitation to the 2011 NYYC Invitational Cup.

It's a BEAUTIFUL day!

Racing is about to get underway on Thursday, Sept. 9.  The RC has announced that they are planning six more races today in the Preliminary Series; three races in each class (Sonars and J/22) for each group.  The scores are really tight in the battle to make the top six in each group, so there is a lot on for many teams today.

Wind is WNW at around 8-10 knots and is forecast to build during the day.  Tide was really high this morning at 0855, so current will be ebbing most of the day (moving right to left across the course), so that should make the start and windward mark roundings additionally interesting.
