Flying Scots are invited along with several other classes.
There is no better place to mark the Semiquincentennial than the city where independence was declared, where Franklin flew his kite and founded his fire company, and where the Liberty Bell still stands. Liberty Sailing Club, the Corinthian Yacht Club of Philadelphia, and Riverton Yacht Club are proud to host the Philadelphia Cup Regatta together for the first time, and we’d like your club on the water with us.
