2025 SUMMER CAMP CORINTHIAN ANNOUNCEMENT  

This November, we had a great group participate in our Junior Mariners Program! Coaches Berkeley Green and Nick Patin took our sailors up and down the bay and even out into the ocean. Our sailors got experience in boats such as the Quest, Zest, and RS 21! 

We can't wait to continue the fun out on the water! 

This November, our Junior Mariners group had a blast out on the water! 

Mater Dei High School and BCYC junior sailor, Tate Christopher, wins the Interscholastic Sailing Association (ISSA) Singlehanded National Championship sailed out of St. Petersburg, FL in the ILCAs. It was tight racing throughout the event, and came down to the last three races to secure the victory! In order to compete in this event, Tate had to win our local qualifier down in SD early this September. 

Major congratulations!! Tate is a senior on the MDHS team and will be attending Tulane University in the Fall.

Tate Christopher wins the High School Singlehanded National Championship! 

Tate Christopher - Singlehanded National CHAMPION! 

The Mater Dei High School (MDHS) sailing team competed locally out of NHYC over the weekend of Nov 9-10. There were over 32 schools in the gold division coming from all up and down the Pacific Coast! 

MDHS had three teams in the Gold Division, and each finished in the top 10! (2nd, 4th, and 8th) 
Congratulations to a great regatta! The breeze was pretty light both days, and the course was tucked in tight on the bottleneck of Lido, providing difficult starts and must-win lay lines. 

Scores can be found here:
https://scores.hssailing.org/f24/2024-anteater-gold/

MDHS has all 3 teams finish in the top 10 at the Anteater Regatta 

What a great turnout for the 2024 Corinthian Cup! We had 64 sailors registered for the event! When we have over 60 sailors, we like to maximize sailing time by putting on two race courses at once! Our A-C1 sailors raced in the turning basing, and our C2-C3 sailors raced in front of LIYC. 

Saturday provided tricky South/West conditions, and Sunday was a true southerly. The breeze was light and flukey both days until Sunday afternoon when it finally picked up to about 6 - 7 knots.  Each course was able to accomplish eight competitive races for each fleet. Saturday after racing, we enjoyed a fun ice cream social and DJ set by the pool for our racers; what a great bonding opportunity! 

On behalf of BCYC, I would like to give a massive thank you to all of our volunteers who helped to make this regatta possible!  We COULD NOT do this without you. In particular, David Levy, who stepped up to be the Principle Race Officier (PRO) for the C2-C3 Course, and Katie Levy, who did all of our scoring! 

We would also like to thank Ronstan, Dennison Yachts, Ullman Sails, and the Beattie Family for donating items to our Sunday raffle! 

Our BCYC team did great on the water as well! Please give a massive congratulations to our very own Brady Kosich for winning the B class and Keaton Baumhefner for winning the C2 class. Both earned enough honors to move up! Nice work! 

The Corinthian Cup Regatta is unique in that sailors are competing for the Team High-Point Perpetual Trophy in addition to individual low point awards within each class.  

How it works: the Team High-Point combines participation as well as performance to determine an overall winning yacht club.
Each registered Newport-area sailor receives 1 point toward their yacht club team score. Travel teams from the north district (such as LBYC or ABYC) will receive 2 points. Sailors from the South district will receive 3 points per registered sailor.
Top 5 finishers in each class are awarded points based on their final ranking (1st: 10 points, 2nd: 8 points, 3rd: 6 points, 4th: 4 points, 5th: 2 points) in addition to their participation points.

After all was said and done, team BCYC just edged our NHYC by two points to claim victory in the Corinthian Cup Perpetual! Nice work team! We are all so proud of you!

BCYC sailors competed in the 2024 Fall Gold Cup hosted by Newport Harbor Yacht Club over the September 7 - 8 weekend. Our team showed up HUGE, with over 24 sabot sailors in all 5 classes. Saturday proved to be hot and light, where kids were encouraged to hop in the water in between races. Sunday breeze picked up to a nice 10 knots with gusts into the teens! What a great day for racing and a learning opportunity for mastering sail adjustment! 

We want to say a massive congratulations to our three sailors who moved up over the weekend! 

Francesa Tiano 2nd Place in C2's (C2 to C1)

Andrew Metzger 1st Place in B's (B to A) 

The next regatta to get excited about will be the first stop for the North Series down at SDYC September 21 - 22! Register now for that event HERE! 

We cannot wait to continue traveling and competing with our team! We have 4 coaches locked in for that event. Please fill our your sailors information on our trailer assignment sheet below! If you can tow please volunteer! We need help from parents like you to get help best prepare our team! 

BCYC sailors & coaches at the 2024 Fall Gold Cup! Congrats to our three sailors who moved up!  

We are so excited to open up our FALL FRIDAY SAILING!

We really want to encourage participation in travel events. We had an amazing summer and Sabot Nationals turnout, and we want to keep it rolling!

We will consider supporting smaller local regattas like LIYC Holloween and ABYC Turkey day based on solid interest.

I will send out a Google spreadsheet to see which events each sailor intends to participate in. As we have done in the past, we will approach each event as it comes.

We are excited to have our sailors back on the water for our Fall Friday Sailing! 

Every summer, Newport Harbor Yacht Club comes alive with the excitement and camaraderie of

the Summer Gold Cup. This event offers our sailors an opportunity to get out on the water and

compete with sailors from all over Southern California, which provides valuable racing

experience and teaches life skills such as resilience, teamwork and leadership.

This past weekend, BCYC had 23 sailors compete in the regatta. While Saturday showed

steady breeze, Sunday was a bit more challenging with hotter weather and lighter winds.

Five of our racers made it up onto the podium, one in each class. Emerson Shoemaker took

home 5 th place in A fleet. Olivia Corzine took home 3 nd place in B fleet. Tavin Beattie took home

2 nd place in C1 fleet. Jayden Nahas took home 5th place in C2 fleet. Keaton Baumhefner took

home 4 th place in C3 fleet. Two of our sailors earned the right to move up to the next fleet,

complete with getting tossed into the bay. Congratulations to Olivia Corzine on her move up to

A fleet and Tavin Beattie on his move up to B fleet.

We are so proud of all of the sailors who competed in this event. For our sailors, its more then a

race; its an opportunity to learn, grow and forge lifelong friendships through the sport they love.

SUMMER GOLD CUP - PODIUM FINISHES IN EACH CLASS! 

 BCYC Members and Returning Sailors: March 11th at 10 AM 

We had a clinic on Feb 10 for NB4T C420 sailing out of BCYC. After a slow start at the yacht club waiting for wind, we had nice sailing conditions out of the west with 10-12 knots of breeze. Our main focus of the day was starting with some of the best C420 racers in the country. We raced and battled each other all throughout the day. After today, everyone, including myself, was tired and beat, but we all pulled through and learned/practiced our starting strategies and skills. We focused on reps rather than flashy techniques, and it is evident that it worked. As we go into C420 midwinters next week, starting practices like this one improves all of our strengths as well as weaknesses.

BCYC hosted 67 sailors for the coveted Corinthian Cup, October 14 - 15.   The Corinthian Cup trophy is unique because the regatta perpetual is based off an accumulation of club participation and overall performance  

How it worked: the Team High-Point combines participation and performance to determine an overall winning yacht club.

Each registered Newport-area sailor receives 1 point toward their yacht club team score. 

Travel teams receive 5 points per registered sailor.

Top 5 finishers in each class are awarded points based on their final ranking (1st: 10 points, 2nd: 8 points, 3rd: 6 points, 4th: 4 points, 5th: 2 points) and their participation points. 

Congratulations to team LBYC, who took home the Corinthian Cup this year. 

From Team BCYC, we had 20 sailors of the 64 representing proudly!  Conditions treated our sailors well, with the breeze building on Saturday. 

We want to give a big thank you to all our Regatta Volunteers, from the parking lot and launch ramp attendants to our on-the-water race committee! It is impossible to run a regatta without your help, and we are forever grateful! 

You can find the results here: Corinthian Cup Results Page

The next big sabot regatta is the North #2 at Mission Bay Yacht Club! Can't wait! 

BCYC hosted 67 sailors for the coveted Corinthian Cup, October 14 - 15.   The Corinthian Cup trophy is unique because the regatta perpetual is based off an accumulation of club participation and overall performance

BCYC sailors took on the breeze at the first stop of the North Series on September 24-25! The Fall Junior Invitational / North #1 at San Diego Yacht Club pushed our sailors to the limit!

A - C1's raced out on the Shelter Island Shoal & the C2 - C3's were right in La Playa Cove. SDYC Race Committee clocked puffs in the 16-knot range, which is the top of what a sabot can handle. 

Coaches for the event were Junior Sailing Director Carolyn Smith and Casey Tolan.

BCYC sailors took on the breeze at the first stop of the North Series!

Over the weekend of Sept 9-10, we had 16 BCYC sailors compete at the Fall Gold Cup.  Congratulations to BCYC's Mesa Uliasz (4th) and Julia Stewart (2nd) for placing in the top 5 of the sabot A Fleet.

Out in the ocean we had 4 sailors compete in the Shadden Series #1 that same weekend. Day one provided a lot of swell and about 9 knots of breeze. Great work to BCYC's Jack McGhie with Isabel Lewis (4th) and Zarrin Harvey with Gillian Kaufman (5th) for placing in the top 5 of the doublehanded CFJ Class! 

BCYC podiums at both the Fall Gold Cup and the Shadden #1 at NHYC 

BCYC Juniors represented exceptionally well at the Balboa Bay Fleet Invitational Regatta by winning the A, B, C1 and C2 sabot fleets.

In A fleet BCYC Juniors Zarrin Harvey and Kingston Keyoung placed first and second respectively.  

In B fleet Emerson Shoemaker took the win, so she will be joining Kingston and Zarrin in A fleet going forward.  

Olivia Corzine took a comfortable win in C1 to move her up into B fleet. 

BCYC sailors Brady Kosich, Tavin Beattie and Elliott Jensen placed first, second and fourth which graduated all three of them to C1 in the 28 boat fleet.
