The SILVER CUP CHALLENGE is a regatta designed to promote match racing in Southern
California. The regatta weekend consists of a seminar on "Match Racing 101"
followed by a round robin race series. Contestants represent the YRUSC
member clubs and compete for the SILVER CUP perpetual trophy. In 2007 the event
was hosted by Dana Point Yacht Club and the sailors competed in J-24s.
Future events will continue to use the seminar and race format and will
feature competition in one-design boats crewed by three or four racers.
YRU OCEAN RACING CHAMPIONSHIP
Years ago, before many of us started sailing, YRUSC promoted the
PACIFIC OCEAN RACING CONFERENCE (PORC). It has now been resurrected
as the YRU Ocean Racing Championship (YRU ORC) in the form of eleven
existing long-distance open-ocean races organized by YRUSC member
clubs. The purpose of YRU ORC is to promote and develop competitive
ocean racing.
Skippers are recognized for their overall performance in the best
four-of-eleven listed ocean races. Contestants are divided into three
handicap classes and are awarded points based on their performance
in their respective handicap classes. A perpetual trophy is awarded
to the winning skipper of each handicap class. The class winner with
the highest point total is awarded the BACCARAT Trophy, the
class winner with the second highest point total is awarded the
JACK FROST MEMORIAL Trophy, informally known as the King
of Sweden trophy, and the class winner with the third highest point
total is awarded the MARK SEGAL MEMORIAL Trophy. The trophies
are usually presented to the winners during the opening day
ceremonies of their yacht clubs.
YRU ORC ELIGIBILITY
To be eligible a skipper must sail a minimum of four of the designated
YRU ORC races. If more are sailed, the best four will be scored.
Ties will be broken by the number of miles sailed in the best four
finishes, then comparative times in the same races.
NO EXTRA FEE OR ENTRY FORM IS REQUIRED BY YRUSC. Interested skippers
must contact the organizing Yacht Club to enter the race.
