RORC Morgan Cup

This year’s Morgan Cup race will again finish in the beautiful harbour of Dartmouth and, so as not to reproduce another ‘Myth of Malham’ race course, some virtual waypoints will likely be used to provide some variety and different tactical challenges. One of the jewels in the crown among West Country harbours, Dartmouth, plus Kingswear opposite, and the always welcoming Royal Dart Yacht Club make this a popular sailing destination.
Unusually, while the RORC may run the Morgan Cup, the trophies awarded to the winners are owned and administered by the Royal Thames Yacht Club (RTYC) – including the prestigious Morgan Cup trophy itself, donated to the RTYC in 1929. This relationship goes back to the earliest days of the race in the 1930s when the RORC was involved in its running, and it joined the RORC programme in 1950. For those fortunate enough to win, the trophies are awarded at the RTYC Annual Dinner in London.
