We are delighted to pass on the news that Doug and Bob have been awarded the Robert Shope Award by the YRALIS:
 
"The Roger H. Shope Trophy is the YRA’s newest award and was established in 1998 to honor outstanding achievement in race management. Named to honor of the YRA’s 34th president, nominees must be amateur sailors or race committee personnel, their service must primarily be for a YRALIS member club and they should be members of the YRA."
 
Well deserved! The award was presented at the YRALIS Annual Meeting, Sunday December 4th
 
Thank you to Jude Keneally for making the nomination.
