As some of you know I recently took over as fleet captain at Corsica River Yacht Club. As I have not been a member of that club for very long, I have the honor of learning the history of many of their events. One of those items is a perpetual trophy I just was handed this past week. It is the Temple Blackwood Memorial Trophy; it has been awarded to best sailing Penguin at our annual regatta since 1953. That is before most of us were born. I have learned that the Blackwood family heavily supported the Penguin class and Corsica River Yacht Club so it makes the name seem very fitting. I hope that it will again be presented this coming year at the annual regatta July 25 & 26, 2026. Below are a photo of the trophy and a list of those that have won. Roy Sherman ... See MoreSee Less
