Non-Racing Trophies and Awards
Our club historians Michael Hurley and Janette Eagle dedicated countless hours in the fall of 2023, creating a compilation of all the trophies and awards that adorn our trophy cases.
The Non-Racing Trophies and Awards are listed below. The Racing Trophies and Awards can be found here.
The list below captures the title, category, image, description and a short list of past recipients.
The objective is not only to inform but also to expand on the history of these honours. If you have comments, corrections or additions, please email them to the Fleet Captain (fleet@wyc.ca).

Brukel Trophy
(Commodore's Cruise Award)

This award was originally presented to the winner of a fun race from Whitby to the chosen cruise destination. The race has since been discontinued, and the trophy is now presented to the member who, at the Commodore's discretion, most contributed to the success of the cruise. This trophy has been in use since 1970.
