San Diego Yacht Club has been hosting the annual Yachting Cup regatta for nearly 50 years often with nearly 100 boats in competition. Typically a spring time tradition, the Yachting Cup was postponed in 2020 to October 10-11 with the hopes of saving one of the west coast’s premier regattas from the cancelations that most events this year have befallen. The 2020 version of Yachting Cup came together at the final hour as recreational boating restrictions were amended in San Diego to allow non-household boating to occur just weeks before. 36 boats joined the regatta. The J/105 fleet and Beneteau 36.7s formed one-design fleets, while a group of 25 boats split into 4 handicap classes, ranging from John Raymont’s Ker-51 Fast Exit II to Wayne Zittel’s two J/World J/80 entries.
