George C. Furman Trophy
Awarded to the GSBYRA Full Member Club team with the highest place finish in the GSBYRA interclub match racing championship, the George C. Furman Trophy was donated by his family. Each club may enter an unlimited number of teams in the GSBYRA championship. GSBYRA has no age or gender restrictions. The helmsman must be a member of the GSBYRA Full Member club represented and must helm the boat at all times. Crew members may be female or male and must be members of GSBYRA Full Member clubs. Additionally the defending team from the previous year may enter. From 1982-2006 GSBYRA sailed the event in Association owned Mobjacks and from 2007-2014 in the Flying Scot using Association owned sails. GSBYRA now sails the event in J24 boats at Sayville Yacht Club. To continue to the US Sailing Match Racing Championship for the Prince of Wales Trophy, the helmsman must request an invitation to a qualifying event and the team must meet weight requirements for the boat being used.
