Governor Hicks Cup Log Canoe Races

August 19-20, 2023

Log Canoes are the grande dames of the Chesapeake Bay, and Cambridge Yacht Club is honored to host these magnificent racing vessels for the 84th anniversary of the Governor Hicks Cup Race.

Unlike Skipjacks, which were built for stability and power, Log Canoes are narrow and built for speed. They are  notoriously unstable, so racers must rely on teamwork and agility. We invite you to witness the beauty and drama of these boats and their crews racing for glory and the historic Governor Hicks Cup.
