The Mayor'a Cup Regatta is VSC's designated race in the Cannon/Goose Series of the Lake Champlain Championship Series.
Known as THE sailing tradition of Lake Champlain, the Mayor's Cup Regatta returns as the signature event of the popular 4-day summer festival in Plattsburgh, NY. Attracting sailboats from throughout the northeast and Quebec, racers face ano guts, no glory competition known, since 1978, for its spirited fun and, sometimes, high-seas adventure. When skippers who compete around the world claim Lake Champlain as sailing at its best, we know our waterfront treasure is no fool's gold!
The Rotary Cup goes to the over all winner of the Cruising Division, with the Mayor's Cup going to the over all winner of the Racing Division. There will be prizes and trophies for all divisions.

| Safety First! Orienting crew to safety protocols | 7/6/2024 - 7/6/2024 10:00 - Sat | Shelley Mathias |
No matter how experienced you are, emergencies happen. Having crew familiar with protocols can prevent injuries or worse. Whether cruising or racing, it's up to the Skipper to make sure that their crew knows what to do in an emergency. What's your protocol? How do you review it with each individual new to your boat?
Come and fine tune or develop the safety protocol for your boat. We'll walk through each possible area together with a check list for procedures.
It doesn't take long to orient crew, and it makes them feel safer and more ready to enjoy the ride.

| Benedict Arnold Race | 10/5/2024 - 10/5/2024 1100 - Sat | Allen Baker |
General Description:
This race commemorates the Revolutionary War naval Battle of Valcour which occurred on Friday, October 11, 1776, between an American fleet commanded by Benedict Arnold and a British fleet under the authority of Sir Guy Carleton, though he was not the operational commander.
The weather that day was clear with a northerly wind. Snow could be seen on the mountains. The American fleet was anchored across the Valcour Channel from near Bluff Point to the New York shore. There were 500 non-sailors in this fleet. The British fleet, 700 sailors, had passed the eastern shore of Valcour Island the previous day, sailing south. In order to attack the American fleet, the British fleet had proceeded to windward up the Valcour Channel by tacking and rowing.
The first British ship was sighted by the Americans at 8 AM. The battle commenced three hours later at 11 AM with the main forces joining battle at 12:30 PM. The battle ended at 5 PM. During the battle Arnold's flag ship was sunk.
Event: This race commemorates the Revolutionary War Naval Battle of Valcour.
Eligibility: Open to all member and non-member boats with a Lake Champlain PHRF handicap.
Registration: At the Signal Boat.
Venue: Lake Champlain west of outer Malletts Bay. Start and Finish near Carlton Prize.
Course: Random leg distance race (see Sailing Instructions).
Awards: The Benedict Arnold Trophy will be awarded at the MBBC Annual Banquet.
