Entry open for 2022 Seawanhaka Cup

Following the decision to postpone the Seawanhaka International Challenge Cup from 2021 to 2022 due to the COVID-19 virus, Long Beach Yacht Club has confirmed the rescheduled date to be May 31 to June 5.

The Seawanhaka Cup is a historic international challenge for the purpose of promoting small yacht racing and developing the Corinthian spirit among competing yachtsmen. With the first challenge sailed in Oyster Bay, New York in 1895, it is considered to be the oldest yachting trophy originated in the United States that is still in active competition.

The Seawanhaka Cup is a match racing event open to international teams who are all regular members of the yacht club they are representing and a national of the country where the club resides.

Any qualifying yacht club wishing to participate should complete a Request for Invitation and return it as soon as possible. Access to race documents, event history, and other details are available online.
