Sail MVhas entered into an agreement with the Martha’s Vineyard Shipyard to become the hosting sponsor of the 2018 Vineyard Cup Regatta.
The 12th annual Vineyard Cup may go down as the most adventurous in the history of the event, with day one of racing scrapped because of violent weather and three boats dismasted in the second and third days.
At the Vineyard Cup awards ceremony Sunday, which followed three days of spirited racing in Vineyard waters, it was Nantucketer Wendy Schmidt who took the top prize in the classic division.
The 11th annual Vineyard Cup is set to sail this weekend, with three days of racing in Martha's Vineyard waters. The annual Seafood Buffet and Auction precedes the sailing competition Thursday evening.
In the grand tradition of the Vineyard Cup, the forecast for mostly fun, a high probability of good food, and a strong chance of evening music was spot on. The 10th annual regatta was a benefit for Sail Martha’s Vineyard.
The just completed 2014 edition of the Vineyard Cup featured 66 competitors.
