Vineyard Cup
The 2013 Vineyard Cup will be the biggest and best ever! Last year, Sail Martha’s Vineyard welcomed over 90 sailboats of all descriptions, designs and ages from schooners to catboats to modern design racers. Based out of Vineyard Haven harbor on Martha’s Vineyard Island the 2013 Vineyard Cup will take place on July 12th, 13th and 14th. The race courses are designed to both test the skills of the skippers and crews and to provide great shore-side viewing of boats on the racecourse from a variety of Island perspectives from the East Chop Lighthouse to Eastville Beach to State Beach between Edgartown and Oak Bluffs.
Each day after racing there will be parties with food, drink and entertainment under the tents on Beach Road Extension down by the Black Dog Tavern. These parties are OPEN TO THE PUBLIC with the purchase of an entry bracelet ($30 a night or $75 for all three nights) entitling the wearer to all s/he can eat and drink. Talk about a great deal!! …and it gets better, all yes all (thanks to our incredible sponsors) of the proceeds go to support the many programs that Sail Martha’s Vineyard offers to year round and seasonal residents and vacationers. Party goers will be be treated to all of the fun and craziness that any group of sailors can provide when gathered in a group. The many event sponsors will be on hand displaying their wares and participating in the daily (not-so-serious) awards. Regatta merchandise will be for sale.
