2021 Annapolis Yacht Club 3-2-1

Eight teams from across the USA competed in the 2021 Annapolis Yacht Club 3-2-1 Invitational on September 24-26 in Annapolis, MD. Following a cancelled event in 2020, this year marked the second running of the event after its debut in 2019.

Combining 3v3 team racing, 2v2 team racing, and 1v1 match racing, the AYC 3-2-1 regatta tests the versatility of the sailors to change roles on the boat and strategies among the three disciplines. With each team having six members, the format used J/22s for the team racing and J/30s for the match racing.

The teams saw a little bit of everything from the Annapolis fall weather; champagne sailing conditions on day one and a blustery final day sandwiched a no wind second day. Despite that lost day of racing, 72 races were completed out of a scheduled 84.

The Annapolis Yacht Club 1 team sailed consistently and finished the event with eighteen wins and only one loss to take home first place! 2019 champion New York Yacht Club were this year’s runners-up.

AYC 1 team comprised of team captain Zeke Horowitz, Emmy Horowitz, Jake Doyle, John Loe, Mike Komar, and Nick Martin.
