Lakewood Yacht Club to Host 2021 Texas Challenge Cup in December
Seabrook, TX: Lakewood Yacht Club will host the Texas Challenge Cup on Dec 11, 2021.

This invitational event hosts teams from active sailing and yacht clubs in Texas, one team per club, with 3-4 sailors each, to compete for the coveted Texas Challenge Cup award. 

The race committee plans on a short-course format of 6-8 races lasting approximately 20 minutes each to be raced on Clear Lake using Lakewood's fleet of RS21s. 

It should be a great spectator event from LYC or various venues along the shore. Or, if you have a drone camera, get it out. 

The Texas Challenge Cup dates back to 1986, first held at Texas Corinthian Yacht Club. That year, nine clubs competed on Solings. LYC and HYC held the event over the next three years but was not repeated until 2001, when it was resurrected. By 2005, the event included clubs throughout Texas. Sometime after, the tradition paused again, until now. Lakewood is rekindling this great Texas tradition once again.
