New York Yacht Club, Newport, RI

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.

Maybe some protest issues from Race #10

Apparently there is one (or more) protest(s) filed in the last race against boats that may have crossed a restricted zone near the shore by the Navy Base.  There is a string of white buoys along the shore that are an obstruction in the SIs and while short tacking on the right side to keep out of the current, it is alleged that boats may have crossed that line.  Might be tough to prove, but could shake things up...
