The Race

This year’s Hospice Cup regatta takes place on Saturday, September 19, 2026. There are three racing circles offered for participating skippers and crew - a windward leeward course, a distance course, and a cruising fleet course. Prizes are awarded to boats that place in their respective fleets as well as for skippers who deliver superior team fundraising performance. Hospice Cup is organized by the Sailing Club of the Chesapeake, in partner ship with the Storm Trysail Club and Severn Sailing Association. The race is sanctioned by CBYRA, with participating boats eligible for high point credit.

Funds raised from the Hospice Cup regatta give the gift of choice to uninsured, under-insured, and patients with limited access seeking hospice and palliative care.  Team fundraising is encouraged for participating racers with superior fundraising performance acknowledged during the event programming.  Click here to start or contribute to a team racing in this year’s Hospice Cup.
