Newport Harbor Yacht Club is proud to be the recipient of US Sailing's Saint Petersburg Yacht Club Trophy for The Baldwin Cup presented by JP Morgan. This prestigious trophy is awarded to a sailing organization or yacht club for exceptional race management at a single event for the prior year.
This trophy will reside in the clubhouse for the year of 2024. The evaluation comes from participating skippers, crew, umpires and then evaluated on the overall regatta and hosting. PRO S/C Scott Mason deserves strong recognition along with his entire race committee team and all the volunteers that make this regatta a must attend for racers from across the globe. The success is on and off the water and we'd like to recognize all the Harbor 20 owners lending their boats, the 2023 Chairs Mark & Shana Conzelman, and to our regatta partners of the event JP Morgan, Hinckley Yachts and Bacardi Limited. The 2023 Saint Petersburg Yacht Club Trophy along with US Sailing Rolex Yachtsman and Yachtswoman of the Year Award winners were announced and presented at the National Sailing Programs Symposium in Savannah, GA February 1, 2024 at Savannah Yacht Club. On hand to receive the award were Baldwin Cup PRO S/C Scott Mason alongside Yacht Racing Director Jess Gerry.
Once again, Newport Harbor Yacht Club stands tall on the national stage for our excellence in delivering World Class Regattas.
