More on the Commodores Cup Regatta—SCYA and CIYC have teamed up with Long Beach Yacht Club to expand our annual tradition by bringing back the Commodores Cup—after 40 years in retirement. Originally presented by CIYC Commodore R. Shayer in 1935, this regatta ran annually through 1985 from, “a point off the mainland finishing off Catalina.” CIYC Vice Commodore Larry Gottleib has decided to bring this regatta out of retirement with the help of LBYC Commodore Bob Piercy and his incredible race committee.
Regatta entry fee: included in ticket price. All crew are invited to happy hour Friday at CIYC without purchasing separate ticket. Commodores Cup Regatta trophies will be presented during Saturday dinner @ CIYC (ticket required.) See Notice of Race below. Sailing Instructions will be posted and distributed to registered racers. After ticketing, skippers will be sent a form to collect boat and crew info.
