WILLIAM ABBOTT SENIOR TROPHY – SAIL TRAINING PROGRAM OF THE YEAR PAST WINNERS
In 1991, at the second annual CYA Sail Training Symposium, the Sarnia Yacht Club donated a trophy in honour of William Abbott Senior, who as well as being one of Canada’s best known yacht builders, has contributed significantly to sail training at Sarnia Yacht Club.
The purpose of the trophy is to recognize the many fine programs run by dedicated volunteers throughout Canada and to share the information among clubs for the improvement of their sail-training programs. In order to be eligible, the nominated program must:
a) Be run by a club or school member in good standing of Sail Canada.
b) Employ Sail Canada certified instructor(s).
c) Follow the Sail Canada program and use the Sail Canada material.
