"The Atlantics are coming in." The cry is heard from the upper deck as people lean over the railing to watch these classic boats return  after a day’s racing. It’s quite a sight too, as the boats charge into the basin, head up into the wind, drop their sails and gracefully glide into their slips.

With 24 boats, CPYC is home to the largest fleet of Atlantics in the world. These classic 30 footers, with large sail plans, low freeboard and beautiful overhangs, were designed by W. Starling Burgess in1928 and have withstood the test of time. Over the years the older boat has been rebuilt in fiberglass, and the strict class rules have maintained the competitiveness of all boats.

2012 Nationals will be held at KYC in Blue Hill, Maine the week of August 20th. Racing will happen on August 21st - August 24th.  For further information go to our class website (www.atlanticclass.org).

Atlantics are beautiful boats, fun to sail, highly competitive, and foster a level of enthusiasm that borders on obsession.  The CPYC racing schedule features races Saturdays and Sundays every weekend from Memorial Day through Labor Day.  For more information contact Fleet Captain Charlie Langalis via email at langalis@optonline.net or visit the Atlantic Class website (www.atlanticclass.org).
