In the Clubhouse you will find several trophies. Through the years we have awarded Fleet Champions for the Lightning Fleet, the National One-Design, the Laser Fleet, the Olympic 470 Fleet and the Sunfish Fleet. We have an Old Timer's Trophy, a Marathon Trophy and a Handicap Trophy. There is also a roving trophy listing all the Barbecruise Co-Chairs and a Bollard Award given to recognize outstanding service to the club.
Fleet races take place on a triangle course which, thanks to our dedicated race committee, is set up each day based on the wind. The committee boat leaves from the Leland Yacht Club approximately one hour before the start. Information about racing location can be obtained from the committee prior to their departure.
At 10:30am, cleverly decorated boats in every size and shape parade by the crowd at Nedow's Bay and a panel of expert judges seated on the Yacht Club dock, all hoping to win one of the many awards that will be given at the evening festivities. Awards are given for several categories which usually include 12 years and under, teens, family, adult, and over 50.
