Since 1903, the Lipton Cup has been the most prestigious trophy contested in Southern California and one of the most coveted on the West Coast.
The racing will be held in the San Diego Bay, allowing plenty of viewing opportunities for friends and family along the waterfront. To ensure fairness, the regatta will be held in a round robin format using equalized J/105s provided by the Organizing Authority. There will be a practice day on Thursday, October 27.
Host San Diego Yacht Club won last year’s Lipton Cup while St. Francis Yacht Club and California Yacht Club have won within the past 5 years. Eastern Yacht Club, Kaneohe Yacht Club, Larchmont Yacht Club and New York Yacht Club will be vying for their first win of the trophy, while San Francisco Yacht Club’s last win was back in 1916.
The Notice of Race is posted online at www.sdyc.org/liptoncup. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact the regatta co-chairs, Joanne O’Dea and Tim Fuller, at liptoncup@sdyc.org.
More information, including a social schedule will soon be posted to the Lipton Cup website.
