After sailing three races on Saturday and the first of two races on Sunday, Newhouse found his team tied with eventual second-place finisher and current IC37 National Champion New Wave, skippered by Jeff Liebel (Tampa, FL). \u201cIn that last race, my tactician Jeremy Wilmot (Newport, RI) said, \u2018You need to hit the starting line at seven knots.\u2019 When we crossed, I looked up and we were going 7.8 knots to take the lead off the line.\u201d Yonder finished third in that race to New Wave\u2019s eighth, enough to give the team a winning margin of five points in overall scoring. \u201cThe competition level was very high, really the best boats around,\u201d said Newhouse.\n<\/p>\n\n<p>\n(Clockwise from upper left) Superyacht Bequia, overall winner in Division 2, Bequia with Delta House on Rhode Island Sound, action aboard the IC37 Yonder, overall winner in Division 1, aerial of the IC37 fleet.

Division 1 sailed their regatta on Narragansett Bay, while Division 2, comprised of two classes for Superyachts, sailed theirs \u201coutside\u201d \u2013 just beyond the Bay\u2019s entrance on Rhode Island Sound. In a more solid breeze there, the Superyachts completed a 15-mile navigator\u2019s race on Friday, just fine.\n<\/p>\n\n<p>\n\u201cMy viewpoint is that with talent, energy, mental processing and competitive desire, you will always come out on top,\u201d said Newhouse. His comment, reflecting admiration for his Yonder team, might just as well have applied to the Race Committee\u2019s doggedness in making sure the IC37s and other classes got their fair share of the racing pie.\n<\/p>\n\n<p>\nFor Saturday, the Race Committee moved up racing by two hours, allowing all classes to benefit from a brisk northerly that delivered 14-15 knots for racing in the morning before slowly tapering off by early afternoon. Sunday, the schedule reverted back to the noon start to take advantage of a seasonally more typical afternoon sea breeze (from the southwest). &#8212; Barby MacGowan, Media Pro
