SOME HISTORY: Famed explorer Admiral Richard Byrd often visited Cambridge while procuring supplies for his expeditions.  In the winter of 1946, CYC members planned an East Coast Championship race for Hamptons, and they invited Admiral Byrd to present the trophy at the inaugural race in 1947. The Admiral arrived via seaplane, stepped onto a Hampton that went out to meet him, and sailed back to the club for the festivities. He presented the trophy three times between 1947 and 1950. CYC hosted regattas annually through the late 1990s, and CYC resumed racing in 2016 with multiple classes of boats.
