Yarmouth Cup - Ocean Race
 The Yarmouth Cup Ocean Race is a joint endeavour of the Gulf of Maine
Ocean Racing Association and
the Yarmouth Ocean Racing Association of Nova Scotia. This event which began as a trial in 1990 has expanded to
the point where it has received international attention for its sense of friendly competition as well as its hospitality.
This 174 nautical mile ocean race from Casco Bay in Falmouth, Maine
to
Yarmouth Harbour in Nova Scotia is an excellent end of the season
event for all classes of boats - racing, cruising
and multi-hull. The summer winds are still unpredictable enough t strategy plays
an important part.
The historic Yarmouth Cup, standing 3 Ѕ feet tall, originated for yacht racing in Yarmouth Harbour. Following
a period of 90 years, the cup was revived in 1990 for the inaugural Yarmouth Cup Ocean Race.
