The New York Yacht Club, led by skipper Pete Leves The New York Yacht Club, led by skipper Pete Levesque, sailed to its fourth consecutive victory in the 23rd New York Yacht Club Invitational Team Race Regatta for the Commodore George R. Hinman Masters Trophy, held Aug. 8-10 at Harbour Court. The Hinman Masters is known for rewarding experience and chemistry, but Levesque’s squad turned the conventional wisdom on its head. He had sailed only sparingly with fellow skippers Tom Kinney and Brian Doyle, yet the team thrived thanks to constant communication. “Since [the team] was unfamiliar with each other, we had to force the communication, and it’s better,” Levesque said. Corinthian Yacht Club of Marblehead, Mass., finished second, with Eastport Yacht Club of Maryland in third. Seawanhaka Corinthian Yacht Club from Oyster Bay, N.Y., and New York Yacht Club – Leonard rounded out the top five. After dominating Stage 1 with 17 wins in 21 races, NYYC – Levesque earned a bye into the finals, while Corinthian and Eastport battled in a tight best-of-three semifinal. Corinthian advanced to face New York, aiming for back-to-back wins after taking the Morgan Cup the previous weekend. Light winds delayed the final, but when racing resumed in a freshened breeze, New York wasted no time, winning two straight races to clinch the title. Levesque credited his teammates’ Sonar expertise and crisp boathandling. “It’s the language of team racing,” he said. “If you can speak it better than other people, you have a different playbook.” The Hinman Masters is part of the Club’s August team racing series, which continues with the Grandmasters event Aug. 15-17 and the inaugural Great Grandmasters Aug. 22-23. 📸 Stuart Streuli #nyyc #newportri #newportbuzz
Dozens of nonprofit organizations serving Newport Dozens of nonprofit organizations serving Newport County residents will share $375,000 in grants from the Rhode Island Foundation, supporting work that ranges from children’s education to housing, food pantries and arts programs. “We are fortunate to be able to help our partners carry out their critical work,” said David N. Cicilline, the Foundation’s president and CEO. “We are grateful for the dedicated donors who make it possible for us to support nonprofits that are on the frontlines of serving the needs of their communities.” Grant recipients include Child & Family, the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center, the Jamestown Community Food Bank, the Newport County YMCA, and the Jamestown Village and Aquidneck Island Village programs. The Boys & Girls Clubs of Newport County received $5,000 for its Anchor Academy, a leadership program for Middletown High School freshmen that blends skills training with peer-led retreats and mentoring. Child & Family was awarded $10,000 for case management in its supportive housing program, which connects families to affordable housing, wraparound care, and family preservation services. The Jamestown Community Food Pantry also received $10,000 to help offset rising costs of food and supplies, serving 86 households and 167 individuals last year. The MLK Community Center was awarded $10,000 for preschool scholarships benefiting children from low-income working families, providing full-day programming with meals, enrichment, and access to hunger relief programs. The Newport County YMCA received $7,500 for RhodySquash, an after-school program combining athletics with mentorship and tutoring for students in grades four through eight. The Village Common received $5,650 to strengthen local volunteer chapters in Jamestown and on Aquidneck Island, which help older adults remain independent and socially connected. According to Cicilline, the funding underscores the Foundation’s commitment to strengthening community services across Newport County, ensuring that “neighbors helping neighbors” is more than just a phrase — it’s a shared mission. #newportbuzz #newportri
