Eastern YC Announces Reduced Entry Fee for all Competitors at the 2022 Star World Championship presented by Bacardi
On September 8-17, the International Star Class Yacht Racing Association (“ISCYRA”) will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Star Class World Championship and Eastern Yacht Club (“EYC”) has stepped up to host the historic event. Eastern Yacht Club enjoys a long history of hosting major yachting events. A couple months ago, EYC and the Star Class Legacy Foundation combined to significantly reduce the entry fee for competitors under the age of thirty (“U-30”) teams.
Corporate Sponsorship of this historic event has been strong. Therefore, in the spirit of supporting the competitors, EYC has committed to reducing the entry fee for all athletes. Sailors from all over the world will come to race and celebrate the Championship and with seventy-five international entries already, the Championship may include over 100 teams.
“Eastern Yacht Club is committed to supporting the events and athletes in our sport. This commitment will help defer some of the competitors’ costs and help make the 100th anniversary of our World Championship a special event.” said Paul Cayard, Western Hemisphere Vice-President of the International Star Class Yacht Racing Association.
“The Eastern Yacht Club is honored and thrilled to be hosting this milestone event for the legendary Star class,” said Henry Brauer, Commodore of the Eastern Yacht club. “These competitors embody what we all aspire to as sailors: excellence, camaraderie, and a deep respect for the history of yachting. We view the entry fee reduction as our appreciation for all those who make this class a unique and special community on the water.”
