Sodus Bay Yacht Club hosted the 2026 Challenge Cup Regatta. It was a weekend of full sun and steady light breezes. The races were all held on Lake Ontario and the racers raced the course with little time for rest. The regatta included 20 boats with visiting sailors from Rochester Yacht Club, Oswego Yacht Club, Fair Haven Yacht Club, Genessee Yacht Club. All in all everyone congregated and had food, drinks, and merriment. We would also like to thank Henry and Mark for running the course with the help of James and Josephine, who served as PRO for this event.
Sodus Bay Yacht Club wins the cup in 2026! Hope to see everyone next year!
