Fair Haven Mayor's Cup Regatta

There will be three fleets racing. There will be a “bridge” race open to all sailboats and will use the Portsmouth Handicap system. The bridge race will consist of a Cruising fleet (non-spinnaker) and a One-Design Fleet. The race will be held between the Oceanic Bridge and Lewis Point. A fleet for junior sailors using Optimist prams & 420s will sail a series of short races on courses off the SRYC anchorage. Participants can use the town launch ramp and docks at SRYC and FHSC. Overnight mooring will be available at SRYC and FHSC.

Awards will be provided to the First Place Finishers in all fleets.

The Mayor’s Cup will be awarded to the First Place Finishers in the Cruising and One-Design Fleets based on corrected time using the Portsmouth Handicap.

The NJYRA Irwin Bowl which is the Senior Men’s Championship will be awarded to a NJYRA member in either fleet with the best corrected time using the Portsmouth Handicap.

Gold, Silver and Bronze awards will be provided to Optimist sailors.
