Seven Swans attended this iconic regatta founded in 1844. Among them, three ClubSwan 42 yachts, and in particular the winner of the last Swan American Regatta, “Barleycorn”.
As per tradition, participation was limited to members of the New York Yacht Club and the four invited yacht clubs (Royal Thames Yacht Club, Royal Yacht Squadron, St. Francis Yacht Club and Yacht Club Costa Smeralda) and the U.S. service academies entering yachts with a LOA of 30 feet or greater (IRC/ORC or equivalent as well as classics).
It was a great result for the Swan fleet: Apparition and Barleycorn finished in first and second place respectively in ORC 2 Class.
