Charlottetown Yacht Club's Trophies and Awards
Charlottetown Yacht Club has had many awards and trophies since its inception in 1922. Some have come and gone, lost to memory. CYC is a vibrant community of sail and power boaters and their families and friends from all walks of Island life, all of whom make valuable contributions to the community in many ways. This page lists CYC's current trophies and awards, followed by past trophies that we know about.
(There are no trophies for committee boats and mark boats, but without the shore and on-water volunteers there would be no regattas).

Past Trophies and Awards

The following is the list of those we could identify. There are some in storage still not yet identified, and likely some in the custody of others but not yet listed here.
We have photographs of all of them. Right: My personal favourite: the Soling award for Race Week in the 1980s-early 90s. Far right: A most important bit of history: the A. Malcom (Mac) Irwin Memorial Shediac Race Trophy, with a model built by Mac himself. Hopefully we can document on this page the names on all of these trophies before they are lost forever. |
