Patin Challenge Plate
Awarded to the GSBYRA Full Member Club junior double-handed team with the highest place finish, the Patin Challenge Plate was donated by Paul and Pan Patin of Sayville Yacht Club. Each club may enter an unlimited number of teams in the GSBYRA Championship. Female or male competitors must have reached their 13th but not their 19th birthday during the calendar year in which the event is held. GSBYRA sails the event in the Club 420 with a trapeze and spinnaker. This event is a feeder to the Junior Challenge. For 2023, US Sailing eliminated the Chubb Junior Doublehanded Championship, and rededicated the Bemis Trophy for the best performance by a first time team in the largest fleet in the Doublehanded Youth Championships, which are open events in the International 420 and 29er.
