Governor's Cup

Tonight I'll be back on the J/120 Heron doing the Governor's Cup. So far this season we have taken first in our class and first overall in both the Annapolis to Newport Race and the Solomon Islands Race. Tonight we'll be going for the three-peat.

Race description:

We at St. Mary’s College of Maryland are looking forward to hosting the 36th Governor’s Cup and making it a great race for you! The Governor’s Cup has enjoyed a tremendous tradition of beautiful night racing on the Chesapeake, and we want as many competitors to safely enjoy the race as possible. Several competitors have expressed an interest in extending the 21 hour time limit. We understand and share their desire to see the maximum number of boats complete the race as good sportsmen in the Corinthian spirit.
