About

Newport, Rhode Island is the sailing capital of America, and Newport Harbor Yacht Club has been at its centre for over a century. The America's Cup was defended on our doorstep; today our members race everything from restored 12-Metres to collegiate dinghies and modern IRC. Narragansett Bay's steady sea breeze and the cold Atlantic beyond make Newport a proving ground for champions. Our Nantucket Sound series draws crews from up and down the Eastern seaboard.
