Subject: Owner's Trophy
Info: (18036 views) Posted: Tuesday 2-3-09 07:36:07 PM
I have posted a picture in the Photo's section of the Express 27 Owner's Trophy. The original teak mounting has no more space for plaques. Will Paxton's plaque for his 2007 result is actually scotch-taped to the back.

The trophy needs to be remounted if we are going to continue the tradition of awarding it to the owner/helmsman per Carl Schumacher's and Terry Alsberg's original wishes.

I have not yet obtained estimates but have been given a referral that both SFYC and St FYC recommend.

I am not sure what is left in the class treasury or how that money is normally spent, but this seems like a worthy expense for the class.

Any opposing opinions?
