Welcome to SDYC's 2013 Yachting Cup Weekend
This year marks the 41st year of San Diego Yacht Club's (SDYC) signature regatta, the Yachting Cup. This premiere regatta brings together competitive fleet and one-design racing at multiple venues in San Diego. The 2013 schedule will have the Yachting Cup in a two-part regatta format, but in a manner that will not be restrictive to competitors who only have the ability to participate on Saturday and Sunday.

In the early years, SDYC's premier regatta, the Yachting Cup, was used several times as the United States Ton Cup Championship, which served as a qualifying event for the IOR World Championship. It is the intention of SDYC and its regatta organizing committee to continue, for any participating competitors, the Ton Cup as part of the Yachting Cup Regatta weekend experience. The 2013 Ton Cup will be sailed on Friday May 3rd in a match race format in J/22s provided by SDYC, in La Playa Basin. A Yachting Cup competitor who wishes to participate in the Ton Cup can do so by identifying minimum three, or maximum four crew members, to represent the owner's entry.

The Ton Cup is a standalone match race regatta with its own prizes. However, competitors will have the opportunity to compete in one, or both regattas, and win individual and combined regatta prizes. Friday's round robin match racing will commence at 11:00 AM off SDYC's "E" dock, with prizes awarded on the main deck immediately following racing. The spectating should be equally as rewarding.

We sincerely hope your schedule will permit competing in our signature Regatta, the Yachting Cup, scheduled Friday, May 3rd (Ton Cup), through Sunday, May 5th.
