Team Sailing at its Finest (W.D. Schock Corp.)
Each year, the most elite sailors are invited to participate in the prestigious Baldwin Cup regatta held at Newport Harbor Yacht Club in Southern California.
The regatta consists of a series of round-robin races in which two teams of eight sail against each other in four Harbor 20s, enjoying both the superior handling and the convenience of the sportboat with cupholders.

Three quarters of Harbor 20 racers are families or couples that sail together. Even exclusive events like the Baldwin Cup see these pairings among competing teams. |
