The 2008 Lipton Cup Regatta, sponsored by Smyrna Yacht Club (SYC), will accommodate four offshore racing classes, during a fun weekend. It is our hope that boaters will leave our beautiful facility with a sincere appreciation of the hospitality extended by the membership of our club. We feel that the historical significance of this prestigious cup will grace the weekend with the spirit intended by its donor. The weekend is planned to promote competition and camaraderie, in an ambiance of yacht racing.
Owners, crews, and spouses are invited to the cash bar cocktail parties. Lipton Cup shirts, tickets for the dinner, and breakfasts will be available.
