On this Day (March 28) – Schooner Cup Charity Regatta: Bill of Rights

March 28, 2015 (San Diego) – Harken back to the golden age of sail aboard the two-masted schooner Bill of Rights as we compete in the America’s Schooner Cup Charity Regatta!

The Silver Gate Yacht Club hosts the 27th running of the Regatta in San Diego Bay. We will depart from the Kona Kai marina on Shelter Island. Guests aboard the Bill of Rights can participate in the race and assist with raising and trimming the sails. There will be as many as 20 classic schooners in this feast of sails.
