MUG Race - A History lesson

Post by Matt Haberman »

Bill Roberts tabulated this data for us a few months ago, here is a list of all the years that a ARC, RC or SuperCat has won the Mug Race. I thought a few of you might enjoy this.
Here is the history of the Mug Race winners from the trophy at the Rudder Club.

Year - Winner - Boat Type

1981 - SC20TR
1982 - SC20TR
1983 - RC27
1984 - RC27
1985 - RC27
1986 - RC27
1987 - RC27
1988 - RC27
1989 - RC27
1991 - RC27
1993 - RC27
1994 - RC27
1995 - ARC22
1996 - ARC22
1997 - ARC22
1998 - ARC22
1999 - RC30
2000 - ARC22
2002 - RC30
2003 - SC20TR


The above list is race winners based on lowest corrected time in the 38 Nautical Mile long Mug Race on the St Johns River. This same list is also line honors / first boat to finish.

This race is put on annually by the Rudder Club of Jacksonville, Florida. The racing fleet numbers around 250 sailboats of all kinds both monohulls and multihulls.
Elapsed times for the MUG race and many others are available under "Race Results" on the Aquarius Sail Website
