The C*C has been invited to participate in the Resolute Cup held by the New York Yacht Club. A fundraiser is being held to support the racers selected to represent the C*C. The team still needs our support, having raised almost $8,000 of the $20,000 goal.

Details:
The invitation only regatta is aimed at selecting the top Corinthian (amateur) keelboat champion amongst the “preeminent” U.S. yacht clubs. For the very first time, an invitation has been extended to the Corinthian Yacht Club of San Francisco.
This coveted invitation recognizes C*C’s standing as a key player on the world sailing stage for our racing victories, regattas hosted, and rich history within the sailing community.
The Resolute Cup will take place in one-design keelboats (Sonars). The C*C has selected four racers to represent the club and compete against 28 other distinguished U.S. yacht clubs, including notable names such as New York, Marblehead, Carolina, San Diego, St Francis, and our neighbors at San Francisco.
Successful participation in the Resolute Cup could lead to an invitation for C*C to participate in the international 2025 Rolex NYYC Invitational Cup sailed in IC37s.
C*C is seeking support from its members to help cover costs associated with participating in this prestigious event. Donations of any amount are welcomed to assist with entry fees, airfares, housing, boat rentals, coaching, and other expenses. Donors who give $500 or more will receive exclusive C*C team gear. Donations will go to the Corinthian Racing Foundation and are tax deductible.
The budget includes:
$5,000 - Entry Fee
$8,200 - Newport Housing for 4 crew ($4100 per week x 2)
$2,500 - Expert Coaching
$1,750 - Boat Rental/Storage for Training
$500 - Practice Race Entries
$2,000 - Round Trip Flights for 4 Crew
