LYC sailors dominate Cape to Cape cruising class

Lewes Yacht Club retained the cruising trophy for another year in the ninth annual Cape to Cape Challenge, while Corinthian Yacht Club in Cape May, N.J., won the spinnaker class.

LYC sailors took four of the top five spots in the cruising class during three races held Aug. 4 and 5. Two races took place Aug. 4, and the race across Delaware Bay from Cape May, N.J., to Lewes occurred the following day.
