Cully Cobb 50K Regatta

The Cully Cobb 50K Regatta

Back in 1999, HIYC members decided to honor Cully Cobb who had been one of the founders of this great club.  Thus the Cully Cobb 50K was born.  Cully had been and continues to be a perfect example of what we at HIYC should stand for. He has served this club in so many ways, it is impossible to list them.  He is also one of the most successful racers we have ever had at this club and continues to win in his tried and true "Chloe".  Come out and race and share in the history of this club, by participating in the Cully Cobb 50K.
