Proposal

 

 

 

Carmen Diaz Trophy

 

 

 

Emblematic of: Highest Placing Junior Women’s Team Under 18 at the Women’s World Championship or Championship

 

Donated by: Augie Diaz

 

Awarded to: Skipper and Crew

 

Open to: Both the skipper and the crew must be under the age of 22 18 (not having reached their 22 18 birthday in the calendar year the regatta is held). Both the skipper and the crew must be SCIRA members in good standing. In the event that there is no team with both the skipper and crew under 18, the highest placing skipper under 18 shall be eligible.

 

Trophy Responsibility and Conditions: Responsibility for engraving, safeguarding and return of the Trophy to the following regatta rests with the winning skipper.

 

Revision of Deed of Gift: By agreement between donor and SCIRA

 

 

 

Reasons:

 

 

 

The original intention of the trophy was promote girls teams. The donor’s vision of a junior was a teenager, versus ISAF’s definition of a junior, which is up to 21 years.

 

 

 

The Women’s Worlds historically has many teams 18 – 21 years and usually there is a team 21 years old in the top 5 (top 5 receive trophies). There are few teams under 18.

 

 

 

The idea of the trophy was to encourage younger teams (often less experienced and smaller) to enter the Championship and have a chance at winning a trophy.

 

 

 

The donor would like to offer the trophy to the top Under 18 team at the Women’s Worlds or the Women’s Championship, whichever is the event name.

 



[1]Proposals can be made by the Board, Technical Committee, National Secretaries or 5 fleet captains up to 1st March.
