Islander 36 Association

"This silver plated cup was donated to the Islander 36 Association, Fleet One, San Francisco Bay by Dr. Charles Ormand of Alameda, California. As is the case with most trophies, its value is inherently as a recognition of contests won by those to whom it has been awarded. However, the history of this cup adds to its value. It was originally awarded to the winner of a contest sponsored by Alfred E. Smith, the unsuccessful candidate for the Presidency of the United States in 1928. He was nominated as a candidate by the late Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The cup followed a round about route to the Metropolitan Yacht Club, Oakland, California, and then, through the good offices of Dr. Ormand, to the Islander 36 class for use as the class perpetual trophy to be awarded annually at the Islander 36 fall meeting for the Islander 36 Class Championship Spinnaker Division conducted by The One Design Class Association under the aegis of The Yacht Racing Association of San Francisco Bay."

As we all know, crew members enable a skipper to race the boat. They can help improve performance and are critical to winning races. We have all seen many examples of outstanding crew members. They have sailed for a considerable length of time on one or more boats. They are dependable, they continue to learn sailing skills, they support fleet activities, they have a strong sense of fair play and a sense of humor, and they evolve to help the skippers and crews on other boats enjoy a safer, more skilled and more successful sailing experience.

Peter Szasz observed that he has been fortunate to have several such crew members over the years, including those aboard his Islander 36 Midnight Sun. Peter felt that it is important to recognize these individuals - first because they deserve the recognition for their individual contributions, and second because it shows that crew development and recognition are important to the Islander Fleet.

In November 2004, the Szasz Family and the crew of Midnight Sun donated an 11" x 17" plaque with a mounted Barient Winch handle as the I-36 Perpetual Crew Trophy, to be awarded annually at the Fall Meeting of the Association to a Crew Member of an I-36 Yacht that has qualified and competed for the Season's Championship or the National Championship of that year. The recipient shall represent dedication, performance and team spirit in the best Corinthian tradition.

Selection of the recipient will be by the Governing Board of the Association and and shall be based on nominations from the fleet. The Governing Board shall have the power to amend this Deed of Gift as it sees fit. (link to original Deed of Gift.
