LADIES CUP RACE
• TED BROOKS TROPHY •

1968-91 — First Boat to Finish on Corrected Time
1992-After — First Boat to Finish
45th Consecutive Awarding — 2012

Theodore F. Brooks of St. Albans presented the club with the Ted Brooks Perpetual Trophy on April 27, 1998 in memory of his wife, Evelyn, to be awarded annually to the boat which finished first on corrected time in the Ladies Cup Race, the winner to have his boat's name, year, and club initials engraved thereon annually, the LCYC to retain possession. [This text written by Commodore John W. Williams in 1968.]

In 1992 the Board of Governors voted that this trophy would henceforth be awarded to the first boat to finish in the Ladies Cup Race when it voted to return to the original and traditional criteria of awarding of the Ladies Cup to the LCYC boat that finished first on corrected time.

[Ted Brooks won the Ladies Cup four times during the Waterama years, in 1956, 1959, 1960, & 1961, in his 6 meter named Sue.]
