A command performance by Corinthian Yacht Club of Marblehead, Mass., saw the well-honed team skippered by Wade Waddell take its second consecutive victory in the prestigious Resolute Cup, thus securing the venerable club a berth in the 2025 Rolex New York Yacht Club Invitational Cup.
This year’s edition of the Resolute Cup showcased teams representing 28 yacht clubs from around the country who fielded their best sailors to compete. Twenty races were sailed over four days in the Opening Series, with the top 14 boats advancing to a two-race Medal Series on the final afternoon when scores were doubled for each race, intensifying an already stiff competition.
Waddell, 27, and his team of Doug Sabin, Duncan Swain, and Miranda Bakos, finished 18 of 20 races sailed in the Opening Series inside of the top five and won the regatta by sixteen points.
New York Yacht Club, skippered by Peter Levesque, finished second, and Mystic River Mudheads Sailing Association, skippered by Peter Linn, took third, winning a tiebreaker with Eastern Yacht Club, which scored fourth in a repeat of its 2022 result.
