The Edgartown Yacht Club Regatta celebrates its 100th birthday this summer, growing from a single day of racing in 1924 to a five-day series with more than 100 boats registered to compete this year. The regatta begins on Wednesday, July 12.

The traditional end of summer Herreshoff Cup Race included a twist this year, with the Vineyard Haven Yacht Club competing in the race for the first time and playing host.

Clear skies and fair seas but not much wind met the 66 sailing teams that set out Saturday in the Edgartown Yacht Club’s annual ‘Round-the-Island race, a Vineyard tradition since 1938.

The Edgartown Yacht Club will host the championships beginning Sept. 5, a competitive regatta.

Gray skies and sprightly winds launched the 80th annual Edgartown
Yacht Club Regatta yesterday. A record number of 420 class sailboats
turned out for the 10 a.m. start. At least 50 of these one-design
sailboats crossed the line. William Roman, manager of the yacht club,
said this year's regatta is clearly the year of the one-design
sailboat, with record participation by young people.
