Rear Commodore Joe Rockmore & Commodore Scott Pyne (Half Moon Bay Yacht Club) accept the award at PCYA Annual Meeting at St Francis Yacht Club on January 20, 2018

The Pacific Coast Yachting Association has chosen the Half Moon Bay Yacht Club as the 2017 recipient of the Pacific Coast Yachting Association’s Garret Horder Memorial Trophy.

There were many excellent submissions this year, but our Horder Committee felt that Half Moon Bay YC’s program stood out. The committee found that HMBYC had created their program from scratch about 10 years ago.  Over that time period they have trained hundreds of children in the art of sailing and safely enjoying water sports.

Congratulations to Pacific Inter-Club Yacht Association (PICYA) and the Half Moon Bay Yacht Club.

The Pacific Coast Yachting Association, with the approval and encouragement of the Horder family, will recognize an outstanding youth sailing program for 2017. The trophy is awarded annually to the PCYA member organization whose submission detailing a member club’s youth boating program is determined by a PCYA committee to be the most deserving.

The trophy, a famous Currier and Ives print of the sail/steam vessel “San Francisco”, is over one hundred years old and occupies a prominent mantel location at St. Francis Yacht Club. The original trophy will remain at the St. Francis Yacht Club. Each year an engraved plaque inscribed with the name of the honored program is added to the list of awardees. A “take home” copy of the trophy will be presented to the winning PCYA organization.
