Barry Campell and the crew of Jade (left) won the 2006 Admiral's Cup. This was the tri-fecta for Jade; now she has won three of the 10 Admiral's Cup titles. Finishing 2nd in the non-spinnaker fleet behind Jade, was Bill Strauss' Excalibur. In the combined PHRF A/B/C spinnaker fleet Mike Austin, Movin' On, took 1st and Chuck Eldred on Gail Force finished 2nd. Seaford Yacht Club and York River Yacht Club team up each year to bring the Admiral's Cup Regatta to the York River area racers.
