The Outback Cup is Lake Murray’s premier regatta for One Design, PHRF spinnaker, non-spinnaker, cruising, and multihull sailboats.  There is always a good time on the water, and a great time on the beach. If  your idea of a good time is a margarita party and hors d’oeuvres by Carrabba’s Italian Grill, eating steaks from down under cooked by Outback Steakhouse and drinking Foster's Beer with a little sailboat racing thrown in for good measure, then  the  Outback Cup Regatta on Lake Murray is your kind of race. The 2009 Outback Cup took place on September 12-13, 2009.
