The Constitution Cup

Saturday, July 13, 2024

The Constitution Cup, a venerable maritime tradition, is poised to make waves again at the Cottage Park Yacht Club (CPYC). Sponsored by Boston Harbor Handicap Racing and CPYC, this Mass Bay Qualifying Race promises a day of spirited competition on the azure waters of Boston Harbor.

Race enthusiasts can secure their spot in this seafaring spectacle by registering online using the button above. The event, scheduled for July 13th, kicks off with a noon warning signal, heralding the commencement of two exhilarating races.

The racecourse, marked by inflatable tetrahedrons, provides a challenging yet fair arena for participants. Scores will be settled using a low-point system, with top-performing sailors securing their spot in sailing history. The winners will be honored at the CPYC Mass Bay Sailing Awards Event later in the year.

Beyond the competitive spirit, the Constitution Cup is a celebration of camaraderie and shared love for the sea. Sailors are invited to gather at the CPYC Sunset Bar post-race, creating an atmosphere buzzing with stories of triumphs and challenges on the water.

Ensuring smooth post-race arrangements, sailors are encouraged to reach out to the Race Committee in advance at windjammer@cpyc.org or contact the Launch driver on VHF 78 for mooring details.

The Constitution Cup isn’t merely an event; it’s an integral chapter in the maritime story etched by CPYC. So, mark your calendars for July 13th, and be part of a nautical legacy!
