Perpetual Trophies

The Commodore Potter High Point and the Audrey Nye individual Sabot class perpetual. These trophies have a great deal of calculations to determine the overall summer sailor that wins these trophies. Each winner is determined by calculating the final net scores of all regattas and invitational’s sailed during the dates of the program in specific classes. Calculations for the A, B, C1, C2 and C3 start with Race Week working backwards to the first regatta during the program (including weekend regattas). Total net points are used for each regatta finish. The overall winner by total low points and stayed within their class through the summer is awarded the perpetual.  After much calculation, this year’s recipients for each fleet are as follows:

Commodore Potter High Point Perpetual for C3– Emmie Barnard

Commodore Potter High Point Perpetual for C2– Ian Wells
