Some of these races include the Annual Regatta, Leukemia Cup, Catamaran Championship and the renowned NYYC Invitational Cup. The NYYC also is the port for annual cruise trips for its members. Destinations for these cruises include Palm Beach, Alaska and the Upper Amazon River. NYYC hosts many events throughout the year, such as weddings, banquets, charity fundraisers and formal dinners.
