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.
