March 2011 - Georgetown University Sailing Award

I was approached by the head coach for the Georgetown University Varsity Sailing Team for a special memorial trophy.

Healy Hall Georgetown University Washington DC Perpetuel Trophy

Healy Hall Georgetown University

These were his requirements

  • Boat – FJ or 420. No spinnaker or trapeze – we don’t have them in college sailing.
    Background – Healy Building at Georgetown – it’s our iconic structure on campus.  I’ve attached a photo.  Most important thing is the clock tower in the center.
  • Other items
    Georgetown Burgee or “G” logo or “Bulldog” logo somewhere on the trophy.
  • Plaque in center to read
    “John Jackson Memorial Team Race Regatta”

This is what I came up with.

Even the clock on the tower shows the specified time, 12 minutes past one.


						
	
						
		
								

						
		
			March 2011 - SB3 Trophies

		
				
The SB3 sports boat is a new and growing class in Australia. We love new classes because they don’t yet have any sailing trophies! So we’ve made quite a few for this class over the last couple of years.


This year the Australian states of Tasmania and Victoria were holding their inaugural SB3 titles. So we made SB3 perpetual sailing trophies with state maps in the background and the logo of the Australian distributor as well as the class sail insignia.

			March 2011 - Optimist Perpetual Trophy

		
				
We make a lot of Optimist trophies which travel to all corners of the globe. These went to the International Optimist Association of South Australia. We often add the state or country as a background but in this case we decided against it as the outline of SA is boring. The customer agreed and she lives there!


So we went with the club burgee. Much better. They also grabbed some keeper trophies.
