Description: 

The Mayor’a Cup Regatta is VSC’s designated race in the Cannon/Goose Series of the Lake Champlain Championship Series.

Known as “the” sailing tradition of Lake Champlain, the Mayor’s Cup Regatta returns as the signature event of the popular 4-day summer festival in Plattsburgh, NY. Attracting sailboats from throughout the northeast and Quebec, racers face a “no guts, no glory” competition known, since 1978, for its spirited fun and, sometimes, high-seas adventure. When skippers who compete around the world claim Lake Champlain as “sailing at its best,” we know our waterfront treasure is no fool’s gold!

The Rotary Cup goes to the over all winner of the Cruising Division, with the Mayor's Cup going to the over all winner of the Racing Division. There will be prizes and trophies for all divisions.

Cruising

Lake Champlain offers some of the best freshwater cruising in North America. The beautiful scenery and charming lakeside destinations make it a great place to explore. LCYC organizes several rendezvous events. Spontaneous cruising events also materialize throughout the season. We have a number of scheduled events planned for the summer season. Cruisers are out and about just about every weekday and weekend throughout the summer.
