Gulden/McCarty Cup

Lakeside Yacht Club’s Gulden/McCarty Cup

Due to construction around the Club this summer, we will be scheduling the Gulden/McCarty Cup for later in the season.  For those who are unaware or new to the Club, this trophy is awarded annually during the Regatta to the winner of Sunday’s distance race and is in honor of longtime members of Lakeside and supporters of Lake Erie racing, George & Kathy Gulden and Don & Kay McCarty.

The race usually sails around the CYRA fixed marks and the Cleveland Crib.  The length of the course is 12 to 16 nautical miles depending on wind conditions. The course marks and rounding sequence are announced at the Skipper’s Meeting before the event.

Fleets

Starts will be provided for PHRF and JAM classes.
