King of Spain Trophies

History

This trophy dates back to 1929 when CYC member Owen Churchill competed for and won the trophy on many occasions. King Alphonse of Spain originally dedicated the trophy in 1928 to promote racing in the eight-meter class. Mr. Churchill, an Olympic Gold medalist had won the trophy six times in eight tries and playfully enforced his "ownership rights" by retiring the trophy. In 1968, Churchill was persuaded to bring the trophy back to CYC where it was re-dedicated for winners of various Olympic Classes competitions. In the late 1970's, the trophy was dedicated solely to the International Star Class as it remains today. In 1999, the regatta was the largest Star event on the Pacific Coast with 34 boats competing for the beautiful silver replica of an early sailing ship.
