FBYC's own Rear Commodore George Burke was awarded the Sportsmanship Trophy by John McCarthy, Chief Judge at the event.  George sailed REVEILLE in the races, and then came ashore and worked really hard to make sure the land activities worked well - and indeed they did. Thank you George.

Dennis Hannick and the crew of GOIN' won their fleet and the Brenton S. Halsey Jr. Memorial Trophy as the top boat at Stingray.  The crew of GOIN' is pictured with three of Brent's children.

Finally, Hampton Yacht Club held the Potts Southern Bay Challenge Cup. This year Hampton Yacht Club, represented in the competition by Leroi Lissenden's VOODOO 2 and Bob Mosby's CYRANO, successfully defended it's grip on the trophy.  Southern Maryland Sailing Association and host Fishing Bay Yacht Club were the other two clubs contending. 

Thanks to John Hubbard for the pictures.

The awards for the Urbanna Race and the 2011 Offshore Spring Series will be presented Saturday May 28th at 5:45pm in front of the barn at Rosegill. Skippers, if you think you are receiving an award please plan on attending the ceremony or having a representative there on your behalf.

FISHING BAY CHALLENGE BOWL - 2011

The Fishing Bay Challenge Bowl recipient each year is determined by the Commodore. Commodore David Hinckle has announced that the 2011 Fishing Bay Challenge Bowl will be awarded to the skipper of a FBYC enrolled Front Runner with the best combined scores from the CBYRA-sanctioned events.

The Trophy Committee will receive nominations until October 9th for the following perpetual trophies to be awarded at the Annual Awards Party in November.

COMPETITION TROPHY – Recognizes a member of FBYC who is the skipper of an enrolled offshore or one-design boat and who most successfully represented FBYC in sailboat racing events conducted by other yacht clubs or associations during the past year.

On Saturday, Jon noticed that some sailors forgot their clew tie-downs which holds the clew of the sail to the end of the boom. Without a clew tie-down, the sail is less efficient and the boat goes slower. On Sunday, with properly rigged boats, the boast-speed of all the competitors was much more even and the racing was significantly more competitive.

The race management team took note of Jon's efforts and selected him as the recipient of the award for sportsmanship out of the huge number of competitors in the Albacore, Hampton One Design, Buccaneer, Mobjack, Moth, Laser and handicap fleets. Compared to what Jon contributes to local Laser sailing through his efforts as District Chairman for Laser District 11 (covering Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and Delaware) and as Laser Fleet captain at FBYC, his contribution to the Governors Cup Laser fleet was small, but it is great to see that they were so richly rewarded.

Congratulations Jon!
