George Rosman Travel Trophy Series
Congratulations to Doug Baird for wining the 2016 Travel Trophy. Doug did this by taking first place in four of the six regattas he attended. He was second place in the other two.
George Rosman, MCYRA Chief Measurer from 1961 to 1974, established this event to encourage Mercury owners to travel to regattas. George felt by encouraging trailering of their boats Mercury sailors would become better all around yachtsmen and build friendships throughout the State of California. One of the most difficult to win, this series is awarded to the MCYRA member who compiles the best overall record in the best 7 of the 9 designated major Mercury Class regattas.
