Trysail members note that the race week trophies are indicative
of the history of the event. They are for the most part named
and donated in memory of people who have contributed significantly
to our sport as sailors and tirelessly to the Storm Trysail
Club. Just like Block Island Race Week itself, the awards are
given in the spirit of camaraderie, competition and respect
for the unique character of the sport of sailing. |
