    The Hydrilla Cup is a PSC social event hosted by the Racing Squadron. Join us for a day of races, fellowship, and a cookout!

    The main event will be a series of two to three races on the Potomac River in which teams of PSC members compete against each other to claim victory on one of our Capri 22's.  We'll follow the racing with a cookout at the marina.

    This is also a great opportunity to try out for PSC's 2026 racing team.
