The Falcon Cup
Unlike most regattas that feature a course with marks and are typically within a few miles of the hosting club, The Falcon Cup is designed to be a downwind run from Cleveland Yachting Club to Mentor Harbor Yachting Club. The race starts in the morning offshore from The Cleveland Yachting Club near the mouth of the Rocky River and proceeds 25 miles along the Lake Erie shore to Mentor. If Mother Nature provides the hoped-for southwesterlies, the participating boats will fly their spinnaker sails, giving everyone on shore a spectacular spinnaker parade!
