BILLADO/CANNON SERIES • GENERAL FRANCIS W. BILLADO TROPHY • Lowest Series Score – Spinnaker Division Ties Broken Based on Lowest Corrected Time 38th Consecutive Awarding – 2005 Horace U. Ransom, Jr., on behalf of the Board of Governors, established the General Francis W. Billado Trophy during the autumn of 1967, in memory of past Vice Commodore Francis W. Billado, to be awarded annually to the boat which finished first on corrected time in the seasonal handicap races sailed with novice crews, the competitors to be members of the LCYC; and the winner to have his boat’s name, and the year, engraved thereon annually; and the LCYC to retain possession. [Text written by Commodore John W. Williams in 1968.] For many years the weekend races comprising the Billado series did not have separate names, but rather were designated Billado I, Billado II, etc. The named races then were not part of any series. There came a time when skippers said there were too many weekend races. Their solution was to drop the no-name races and instead incorporate the Tea Kettle, the Ladies Cup, the Schuyler Island, and the Hot Ruddered Bum races as the Billado Series.
