The World Cup
The perpetual Six Metre World Cup Trophy was donated in 1973 jointly by the Puget Sound Six Meter Association and the Port of Seattle. The competition for the Six Metre World Cup Trophy is open to all International Six Metre yachts holding a valid measurement certificate. The Trophy is awarded to the winning yacht at the International Six Metre World Championship. The Trophy is composed of a large silver plate bowl inscribed “Six Metre World Cup” and a wooden base encircled with plaques inscribed with all previous winners of the trophy. The Trophy is kept at the premises of the current champion’s yacht club, which is responsible for the Trophy’s safekeeping, the engraving for its champion’s year, and delivery to the location of the next International Six Metre World Championship.
The World Championship has been historically held every second year, on the odd year. The current World Championship will be held in 2025 at the Seawanhaka Corinthian Yacht Club (SCYC) located on beautiful Centre Island in Oyster Bay, New York.
It was confirmed that the 2027 International Six Metre World Championship will be held at Nyländska Jaktklubben (NJK), Helsinki, Finland. Further information will be made available in due course.
