America's Schooner Cup - 2024!
The schooner Bill of Rights will be sailing in the 2024 America’s Schooner Cup Regatta.
We will race the 136-foot schooner Bill of Rights in the annual America’s Schooner Cup Saturday, hosted by Silver Gate Yacht Club.
Last year we did well and won the 1st annual Sportsmanship award (we tend to be the last boat finishing because we’re having too good a day at sea). We sail for the beauty of schooners at sea, the community of schooner sailors and the charity benefitting the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society. This is a fun-fill day of sailing and camaraderie.
The beautiful schooner BILL OF RIGHTS was built by Captain Joe Davis at the Gamage yard in Bristol Maine. She was launched in 1971 and spent the next decades plying New England waters.
After all these years, the BILL OF RIGHTS is especially honored this year to have aboard Captain Joe Davis, SR, his sons (see picture of Joe & Christian in 1971 ), family, friends and original crew members.
OH WHAT SEA STORIES AND THE JOY OF SAILING WE WILL ENJOY!
