Proud Supporter of SDYC’s Lipton Cup and International Masters Regatta

Article Posted Nov 10, 2022

Jeff Brown Yachts is a proud supporter of San Diego Yacht Club's premier annual regattas, the International Masters Regatta and Sir Thomas Lipton Challenge Cup. For two weekends in October, the Jeff Brown Yacht logo was seen flying on a J/105 spinnaker in each of these regattas raced in San Diego Bay. The International Masters Regatta is an invitational event, where master skippers are welcomed to San Diego with their own crews to race in a fleet of standardized J/105 boats on a rotation basis. The 2022 winner was Augie Diaz and his crew.

The following weekend brought teams from 11 yacht clubs from around North America in a similar J/105 rotation regatta featuring the finest sailors each club has to offer. This year, the home team from San Diego Yacht Club led by skipper Tyler Sinks took home the beautiful Lipton Cup trophy, donated over 100 years ago by Sir Thomas Lipton.
