Again this year! We are sponsoring the Lipton Cup Team Challenge for
the second year.
The perpetual trophy will be kept by the winning yacht
club/organization until the following year's regatta. An organization
needs to enter three or more boats to compete. Smyrna Yacht Club won the
trophy in 2011 and is challenging all to try to capture it this year.

Building a Tradition
Smyrna Yacht Club (SYC) is continuing its historic Lipton
Cup Regatta. A series of offshore races will be held in the
Atlantic Ocean just outside the Ponce De Leon Inlet.
In addition to racing enthusiasts, SYC is hoping to
attract many of the cruising boats in the area and that pass
through New Smyrna Beach. All with an appropriate sailing
vessel are invited to participate.
|
Location
Smyrna Yacht Club is located on the ICW only a few miles
south of Ponce de Leon Inlet which is just south of Daytona
Beach, Florida; ICW Mile Marker 847 Lat:N.29°01' |
Lon:W.80°55'.
|
A Breeze and Sunshine
Expect a ten to fifteen knot breeze, sunshine,
competitive sailing, and fun for all! Join with SYC for a
weekend of sailing and festivities.
|
Weather
The central Florida weather in April is usually mild.
Occasional frontal systems affect the weather but stay well
to the north. With a little luck, expect sunshine and a
lively 10-15 knot breeze.
|
Offshore Racing
The regatta will accommodate four offshore racing Divisions.
Registration will be $50.00 for the entire weekend. There
will be two races on Saturday, and a third race on Sunday.
|
Racing Divisions:
- Division I: Boats with unlimited sails, including
spinnakers.
- Division II - Boats with all sails without spinnakers.
- Division III - Cruising boats.
- PHRF handicapping system.
|
A Fun Weekend
Racers will be welcomed with a cocktail party at the
club's Tiki Hut on Friday evening. A Buffet will be held at the Tiki on
Saturday evening (per person charge). The awards
presentation will be on Sunday at Happy Hour after the race.
A cash bar will be available for all events. All
participants, crews and families are welcome. Come sail with
us and have a really good time.

The Tradition
Sir Thomas Lipton is famous for his many America's Cup
Challenges. In 1922, he donated a beautiful sterling cup to
perpetuate the sport of yacht racing in the Central Florida
area. In 1941, at the beginning of World War II, the cup was
placed in a bank vault for safety and forgotten until 1982.
At that time, having sponsored International Lipton Cup
regattas in the early 1930's, SYC adopted the cup in order
to preserve the tradition. SYC held Lipton Cup Regattas
periodically until 1989. Because of the historical
importance of the Cup, and the desire to carry out the
vision of Sir Thomas Lipton, SYC is sponsoring this
prestigious international event.
