Thanks go out to the boats and crews that have registered for the 2018 SSYC Queen's Cup. For those that have not yet entered, it's time to get signed up!

Race week kicks off on Tuesday June 19 with a Wine and Cheese Reception sponsored by Harken Derm, a line of sunscreen and skin care products making its Midwest debut at our Race.

The week continues with the Caribbean Night party, including steel drum band and Caribbean food, on Wednesday, June 20.

Thursday, June 21, brings the traditional Queen's Cup cocktail party.

Friday, June 22, is race day, of course.

The Grand Finale will be at the Awards Ceremony in Grand Haven, MI, on Saturday June 23, where we find out which boat's name will be added to the Queen's Cup itself, one of the oldest trophies in yacht racing.

A complete schedule of events with links to all our great sponsors can be found at here.

Deadline Dates:

  • Monday June 11 - Entry deadline for all competitors without late entry fee
  • Friday June 15 - Entry deadline
2018 PHRF Certificate Update

We have heard reports that some boats have not yet received their 2018 PHRF certificates. SSYC is aware of the situation and we are working with LMPHRF to resolve the issue.

Please make sure to get your registration in before the deadlines so that you and your crew don't miss out on a great race.

Looking forward to seeing you at the 2018 SSYC Queen's Cup.
