2000 King of Spain Winners

King of Spain Regatta is 9 days away on the weekend of the 21st and 22nd. Santa Monica Bay Star Fleet’s “Starlights Series” would make an excellent tune-up regatta prior to the King of Spain.

The next Starlight Series race is next Thursday July 19th. First gun is at 6 PM. It is a very short sail to the race area which is just outside the breakwater. All King of Spain competitors are welcome.

Please see Starlight Series NOR, SI and Notice #2 posts.

Early arrivals should contact CYC Dockmaster, Ty Olsen, at ty.olsen@calyachtclub.net or 310.823.4567

King of Spain
History: KoS TrophyThis 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 2010, the regatta attracted 31 international teams tuning up for the Star North Americans hosted by CYC the following week.
