RNCYC win the Commodores' International Cup
The Commodores’ International Cup (CIC) took place in Helensburgh between the Royal Northern and Clyde Yacht Club and Seawanhaka Corinthian Yacht Club in July this year. This biannual event has been taking place for the last 40 years in a variety of yachts. This year the event took place in a 3V3 format in Sonars with races each day being worth an increasing number of points.
RNCYC took an early lead over the first two days to be on the maximum eight points. With races on days three and four worth 1.5 and 2 points, the Seawanhaka team was prepared for aggressive racing to close the gap. Despite Seawanhaka winning the first race on day three, RNCYC was able to maintain their advantage to set up only one race win needed on the final day.
Despite two abandoned races due to fickle wind on the final day, the race committee was able to finally start and finish a race in which RNCYC won to award them the CIC trophy.
Also sailed during this regatta was the Will Glen trophy, in which the youngest member of the boat takes the helm, and the addition of a Masters race to celebrate the legacy of this regatta. The Will Glen trophy was won by RNCYC’s Robbie Littlefield and the Masters race was won by Seawanhaka’s Peter Troxler.
RNCYC would like to pay thanks to Seawanhaka Yacht Club, the race committee, Robin Young for the use of Glenafton as a committee vessel, supporters, and everyone involved in making this another memorable regatta. We look forward to returning to Long Island in 2026.
