The Opera House Cup Regatta is a cherished tradition, held on the third Sunday of August on Nantucket. The 39th Annual Opera House Cup Regatta will be Sunday, August 21, 2011.   The Opera House Cup Regatta was the first all-wooden, single-hulled classic boat regatta on the East Coast, and it attracts some of the finest sailboats in the country.    The Opera House Cup Regatta is a Clean Regatta as certified by Sailors for the Sea.

The Opera House Cup is part of the North American Panerai Classic Yachts Challenge.   All OHC participating boats must have a current CRF rating.    Details for getting the rating are explained on the OHC NOR and registration pages.
