LADY SKIPPER RACE
• J SPINNER TROPHY •
First on Corrected Time — Spinnaker Division - Class B
32nd Awarding — 2012
Donated in 1981 by Francoise & Bob Dunn in memory of their friend J.L.Sinner, this trophy is dedicated to those women who dare to challenge the seas and chase the winds to establish their credentials as yacht racers. J was an occasional sailor who dedicated her life to the struggle for equal opportunity for women at sea as well as ashore. She was a courageous lady who lost her battle with cancer the year before.
