Manhattan Yacht Club Trophy
January 31 All day
If you’re sailing around the BVIs in winter, there’s one event that always brings a smile to the local fleet: the Manhattan Yacht Club Trophy.
Born in 2002 as a gift from the Manhattan Yacht Club, this little regatta has grown into a tradition. The trophy itself is a miniature Statue of Liberty, for the friendship between New York sailors and the BVI.
Every year, the Royal BVI Yacht Club, the West End Yacht Club, and—since 2016—the MYC jump in for a friendly showdown on the water.
This isn’t the sort of race where elbows are out and tempers flare. It’s all about good vibes, camaraderie, and enjoying a day on the water with sailors who love the sport as much as you do.
