NY-9, Amorita is seen as one of the keenest competitors in whatever regatta she enters. In 1995, 90 years after her first New York Yacht Club Race, she re-entered the rolls of the NYYC where she has since regularly participated in the Annual Regatta & Cruise. Her original refit took place in 1981 and then an extensive upgrade/re-fit was completed in 1994. She sails with her original rig and cabin layout and is very much in keeping with the original design of the yacht. Modifications to this yacht tend to be more toward the "minimalist" intent as she is typically used for day racing only. Amorita has long been revered both for her beauty and extensive racing successes. She has been featured on the covers and pages of hundreds of sailing calendars and coffee-table books as the apple of many a professional photographers' eye. She winters in Mystic, CT and summers in Newport, Rhode Island.
