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.

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 photographed all of them. My personal favourite: the Soling award for Race Week in the 1980s-early 90s. 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.
