On Saturday, September 7, 2024, the Port Jefferson Yacht Club and Village of Port Jefferson is hosting the Port Jefferson Yacht Club’s 15th annual Village Cup Regatta for the benefit of Mather’s Palliative Medicine Program and the Lustgarten Foundation.
You, your friends and family are invited to be crew members on the sailboats. No prior sailing experience is required.
Responsibilities may include: trimming and handling of sails, moving from one side of the boat to the other side at the captain’s request, winching or tailing the sheets of the sails and aiding in the navigation of the race course. You may participate in as much or as little as you are comfortable with. Expect to be on the water from approximately 10 am–3:30 pm. Crew members are also invited to Skipper’s Reception at the Port Jefferson Village Center after the race.
All crew members will receive an event T-shirt. Once again, we are asking all crew members to donate a minimum of $50 and are encouraging you to help raise additional funds from family, friends, co-workers, or business associates. Checks are to be made payable to the Port Jefferson Yacht Club Foundation.
Registration opens at 9 am at the dock of the Port Jefferson Yacht Club. Parade of boats begins at 11 am. Lunch will be provided by your captain. The official race time is 1 pm. All boats should return to the dock no later than 4 pm. Skipper’s reception ends at 6:30 pm and includes a buffet dinner, dessert, music and unlimited beer, wine, soda and water.
