YACHTING CUP NEWS

It wasn’t exactly a day of smooth sailing on day two, the final day of San Diego Yacht Club's 2021 Yachting Cup. With misty weather and large, choppy ocean swells, teams used to sailing in champagne San Diego were in for a bit of a challenge, especially compared to yesterday's conditions. It seemed while most boats were up to it, a handful were not able to look past the waves and towards success on the horizon by the final race.

The 2021 Yachting Cup, one of San Diego Yacht Club’s most popular signature regattas, might look a little smaller in size this year, but is certainly matching the on-the-water spirit of Yachting Cup’s past. While normally hosting nearly 100 boats, the 2021 regatta is hosting 48 teams in 7 classes, all eager to race and itching for good competition.

After a full year of limited racing, postponed regattas, and socially distanced sailing, it seems like the world of competitive racing is finally getting back on course. In October 2020, San Diego Yacht Club hosted a postponed edition of the Yachting Cup, one of their most popular signature regattas. Thirty-seven boats came out as restrictions on boating eased - an event that typically hosts over 100 boats. A mere six months later, and the Yachting Cup is working to get back on course as well, returning to the weekend at the beginning of May where it’s been held in years past: May 1-2, 2021.
