There's a new name on the SCYYRA North Series Perpetual Trophy! Piercen Giordani of Newport Harbor Yacht Club has won the 2025-2026 SCYYRA North Series. Piercen secured his victory at Newport Harbor Yacht Club's Spring Gold Cup / North Series #4 on March 7-8, 2026.
Skipper Olympia Barelli (SDYC) has done it again! For the second year in a row, Olympia has clinched the top spot for a skipper on the SCYYRA Hamlin Series Perpetual Trophy. Outstanding Crew Maribelle Barelli (SDYC) earned the Series win this year, as well. The 2025-2026 SCYYRA Hamlin Series wrapped up at Long Beach Yacht Club on February 28-March 1, 2026. While the wind on day one of the final regatta left the day without any races, teams rallied and finished the fourth and final regatta strong.
The SCYYRA Hamlin Series is unique, as the helmsman and crew are scored individually for their race results (versus as a team).
Congratulations to Timothy Liu of ABYC for his 2025-2026 SCYYRA Frost Series win! The final regatta of the series was held at Balboa Yacht Club on March 20-22, 2026. Three days of racing plagued by light wind and heavy fog rounded out the series with five races scored.
Many thanks to BYC, CBYC, MBYC, and ABYC for hosting the SCYYRA Frost Series this season. We can't wait to see everyone back on the water in the fall!
Additional congratulations to 2nd Place: Sam Wells (SBYSF) and 3rd Place: Kousei Hatter (ABYC) for their outstanding sailing in the series!
Congratulations to the 2025-2026 SCYYRA Perry Series winners (and SCYYRA Racing Team Members), Wyatt Kelly and Fiona Barbeito! The Perry Series Perpetual Trophy is awarded to the champion team in the series. In the event that the winning team sailed all four regattas together, the trophy itself is presented to the crew for their invaluable contributions. This year, SDYC Commodore Alli Bell had the distinct honor of awarding the Perry Series Perpetual Trophy to Fiona Barbeito.
Wyatt (SDYC) and Fiona (ABYC) not only dominated the series, but are highly respected by coaches and peers both on and off the water. Wyatt will be sailing for Yale University this fall, and the Tufts University Sailing Team is lucky to have Fiona joining their ranks. Fair Winds, Fiona and Wyatt!
After six regattas, the 2025-2026 SCYYRA Carrie Series came to an end at King Harbor Yacht Club's Ken Hoover Memorial & Carrie #6 on April 18-19, 2026. Mason Lim from JK Sailing and South Coast Corinthian Yacht Club clinched the top spot with 47 net points over 41 races. Congratulations to Mason and the following sailors who secured wins in the series:
2nd Place: Hayden Zierger - CalYC
3rd Place: Tristan Gerber - JK Sailing/SCCYC
4th Place: Eloise Chadwich - JK Sailing/SCCYC
5th Place: Morgan Clarke - CalYC
Thank you to all of the competitors, volunteers, parents, and host clubs who made the 2025-2026 SCYYRA Carrie Series a success. We look forward to seeing the Opti Fleet in October to kick off the next season!
The final regatta of this season's SCYYRA Shadden Series held on Feb. 28 - Mar. 1, 2026 at ABYC got off to a very slow start. The scant whisper of wind left CFJ sailors unable to race on day one, before rallying to a solid three races to close out day two. Congratulations to Oceanside Yacht Club's Alexandra Fisher and Tiago Chapman, who not only conquered the series, but swept all four Shadden regattas! With 15 Net Points over 18 races, Alex and Tiago dominated the series year!
Congratulations to the accepted sailors for the SCYYRA Winter Advanced Training Clinic on December 6-7, 2025. We are looking forward to a wonderful weekend on the water!
