Ladies Cup — Jib and Main - Class A / Failey Trophy

LADIES CUP RACE
• N.F. FAILEY TROPHY •

First on Corrected Time — Class A - Jib & Main Division
32nd Consecutive Awarding — 2012

This trophy from the 1920s was bought by David Schaefer for $6 at a yard sale in 1981 and returned to the club. At that time not many non-spinnaker boats raced in the Ladies Cup Race, so one award was sufficient. In 1999, in recognition of the growth in Jib & Main Division, a new trophy was created for Class B and the Failey Trophy became the trophy for Class A.

Lake Champlain offers some of the best freshwater cruising in North America. The beautiful scenery and charming lakeside destinations make it a great place to explore. LCYC organizes several rendezvous events. Spontaneous cruising events also materialize throughout the season. We have a number of scheduled events planned for the summer season. Cruisers are out and about just about every weekday and weekend throughout the summer.
