Welcome to the 2019 Castine Cup Regatta Information page.

The 2019 Castine Cup Regatta, held on August 18th, 2019, will be a fundraising event for the Castine Community Childhood Learning Place (C.C.C.L.P.). Come out and support this great cause! The Castine Cup Regatta is open to all seaworthy sailing craft and crew. The race will be composed of roughly 3 to 5 hours sailing various designated courses between the mouth of Castine Harbor and the eastern shore of Isleboro. A current PHRF certificate will be necessary for each vessel for handicapping purposes. A vessel without a current PHRF certificate may enter the race on the base rating of their class as published in the PHRF New England list of base handicaps.

Vessels that do not fall under PHRF may register for the Portsmouth Yardstick class, which will have a separate start and course of its own. Those wishing to register for Portsmouth Yardstick, as opposed to PHRF, should email Castine.YC.RC@gmail.com directly rather than registering here. First gun is at 1300hrs. Prizes will be given for first place in both classes. In addition to placing in either race there will be an optional gentleman's wager with a minimum contribution of $50. 

The first wagerer over the finish line in either class will have the honor of donating to the C.C.C.L.P. the entire pot of their respective class in their own name, or the name of their choosing. As the C.C.C.L.P. is a 501(c)3 entity, and therefor tax deductible, contributions above the minimum $50 are highly encouraged! Additional recognition will be given for the boat that provides the largest contribution to the pot. Tell your friends and fellow yachtsmen to get out on the course and put their money where their mouths are!

Awards and cocktails will follow the race at the Castine Yacht Club at approximately 1800hrs.

Overnight accommodations for participating yachts may be available at either the Castine Yacht Club or the Castine town dock. Please get in touch for further details about staying with us over night. We would be more than happy to have you!
