LADIES’ CUP RACE

• SAMUEL de CHAMPLAIN TROPHY •

First Boat to Finish on Corrected Time – Any Division or Class, Any Club

14th Consecutive Awarding – 2005

 In 1992, when the winner of the Ladies Cup was switched from first-to-finish to first-on-corrected time, The Ted Brooks Trophy was switched from first-on-corrected time to first-to-finish. However, the Brooks Trophy may be awarded to any competitor regardless of class and including non-LCYC members. So this new award was created to be awarded to the LCYC Class A boat that was first to finish.

 In 2001 the criteria was changed once again. Recognizing that the Ladies Cup is restricted to LCYC members,  and that it is possible that the boat that is first to finish on corrected time may not be an LCYC member, this award henceforth will be awarded to the boat that has the best corrected time finish regardless of class or club affiliation.

The trophy was in the LCYC archives, having been bought in a yard sale. It features a medallion bearing the likeness of Samuel de Champlain and the dates 1609-1909. The engraving is below the medallion.
