Big boat racing as it should be is the proud boast of the organisers of the Shipyard Cup, an event taking place in Boothbay Harbor in Maine this summer.
Super sailing yachts are signing up for three day series of racing in the traditional Corinthian style that starts on August 12th.
Organisers promise it will be set against a background of relaxed Maine hospitality, wonderful sailing vistas, camaraderie cocktail parties, Bucket Protocol Racing Rules and of course a genuine Maine lobster bake. www.shipyardcup.com
