Brief Description
The Museum of Yachting's Annual Classic Yacht Regatta, sponsored by Panerai, celebrates its 30th running in 2009. The event transforms the waters off Newport into a panorama of majestic classic yachts and includes two days of racing, the regatta's traditional Classic Yacht Parade, and evening festivities; this annual happening draws a fleet that ranges from modern classics, to vintage yachts, to smaller one-designs—many with design pedigrees by Herreshoff, Hunt, Fife, and Sparkman & Stephens
