06/17/08 Meyers wins Class 1 at Newport Regatta

Anticipation ran high throughout the New York Yacht Club's 154th Annual Regatta presented by Rolex, in Newport over the wekend.

"Competitors, designers, journalists and spectators alike were anxious to see how the newest, hottest IRC boats measured up against one another in seven IRC classes," said Barby MacGowan, spokeswoman for the event. "Five other classes (one each J/105 and Farr 40 one-designs, one each for 12-Metre Modern and Classic Traditional, and one for Classics) stirred up their own excitement. A total of 110 boats competed.

"In the end, it was Dan Meyers' Numbers that took IRC Class 1, where most of the attention focused. The boat sails out of Newport. In that class were such show stoppers as the 99-foot super maxi Speedboat, owned by Alex Jackson of Old Greenwich, Conn. and skippered by Mike Sanderson of New Zealand, and Il Mostro/Puma Ocean Racing, skippered by Ken Read of Newport, which both suffered around the buoys, due to their size and optimization for straight-line speed, which will be better tested by next week's Newport to Bermuda Race. Numbers instead contended primarily with Hap Fauth's Belle Mente out of Newport, which trailed Numbers by seven points in overall standings after Numbers won the last three of that class's four races."

In IRC Class 3, Blair Brown's Sforzando out of Newport won overall, with Bermuda's Star class Olympian Peter Bromby serving as tactician. "Yesterday's winds were patchy," he said, after his boat had won the day. "You were either in it or you weren't."

In IRC Class 4, which was comprised entirely of NYYC Swan 42s, new owner Phil Lotz of New Canaan, Conn. aboard Arethusa, made his initial power play yesterday as well, winning two races before posting a 1-5 yesterday to seal the deal.

Kevin Grainger of Rye, N.Y. won the J/105 class with his Gumption3 after six races in his series.

The Great Corinthian Trophy, awarded to the yacht club team with the best score in the two-day series went to Annapolis Yacht Club, with team members Rush, Flying Jenny VI and Tsunami.
