The Ludington Yacht Club cordially invites all area skippers to participate in this year’s Bloomer Cup. The 2012 races will be held on September 1 and 2, 2012 which is with cooperation of the Pentwater Yacht Club. The official race announcement is here. We have moved the date from prior years to allow travel time for area boaters. We have also instituted the cruising class to encourage participation and allow more boaters to participate in the fun.
We think the Bloomer Cup is one of the highlights of the local boating season and encourage your participation. We are again hosting this event over the Labor Day weekend to provide more time to move boats from neighboring ports. Our plan is for Ludington boats to spend Friday evening in Pentwater, so please join us if you can. If you have any question, please contact the Ludington Yacht Club or call Dale Fitch. We hope to see you on the water.
This is an annual event with separate divisions for the spinnaker, main and jib and cruising class fleets. Trophies will be awarded for all divisions. Race details are contained in the entry form and the sailing instructions.
