LTYC's 45th Annual Mayor’s Cup 

Report by Commodore Andy Forman.

Lake Townsend Yacht Club's premier invitational regatta of the year was held on June 4-5. Lake Townsend is a great venue for racing and thanks to the efforts of dozens of volunteers, we hosted one of the best regattas I’ve attended in years. Of course we were dependent on good winds for the racing ( Mother Nature cooperated) and on the selfless efforts of many volunteers for Race Committee and for the social events that accompanied the regatta.

In all, there were 29 boats racing in four classes. There were four races on Saturday and three more races on Sunday.

The Mayor's Cup, which honors the City of Greensboro and its years of support of sailing in the Piedmont, is awarded to the winner of the one design class with the highest number of boats that start in at least one race. This year the Mayor’s Cup was won by Dave Rink and Joel Blade of the Flying Scot fleet, competing against 10 other boats in their class.

Congratulations to this year's Mayor's Cup winners Dave Rink and Joel Blade from LNYC!

The Bryan Cup is awarded to the winner with the highest average number of boats defeated per race in its start, excluding the Mayor's Cup class. This trophy honors Joseph Bryan and the Bryan family for their generosity to the City of Greensboro.

Congratulations to this year's Bryan Cup winners, Uwe Heine and Nancy Collins!
