The Congressional Cup

The greatest names in yachting sail in "THE GRANDDADDY OF THEM ALL – THE CONGRESSIONAL CUP" hosted by Long Beach Yacht Club. 

Ted Turner. Ed Baird. Dennis Conner. These world class sailors will tell you the Congressional Cup is pure match racing - a true test of sailing ability. They're three out of a long list of top sailors who have traveled to Long Beach to compete in what has been called the Grandfather of Modern Match Racing. Pure match racing means boats are precisely uniform, which creates an opportunity to truly measure sailing strategy and skills. In this regatta there is no margin for error: It's like a chess game on the water, and year after year the Congressional Cup delivers excitement.
