On Thurs., Oct. 6, the New York Harbor School will host its annual Harbor School Regatta on Governors Island.
The inaugural event will feature an afternoon of America’s “Cup 12 meter” and “J24” racing as fans cheer on sailors from luxury spectator boats in the harbor with commentary from MSNBC’s Willie Geist. It is also the opening event for the fifth annual New York Classic week in New York Harbor, a Manhattan Sailing Club regatta. Afterward, sailors and spectators will convene at Water Taxi Beach on Governors Island for a post-regatta cocktail bash and awards ceremony, replete with cocktails, oysters and Brooklyn Brewery beer.
The events’ proceeds will benefit the students of New York Harbor School as they pursue higher education, with 100 percent of the funds raised going to the Harbor School’s college scholarship fund.
