BOYD BRAGG IS RRYC 2012 JUNIOR SAILOR OF THE YEAR

POSTED DECEMBER 1ST, 2012

BOYD BRAGG WON RRYC'S MARY PARKER MOCURE VADEN JUNIOR SAILOR OF THE YEAR AWARD AT RRYC'S ANNUAL MEETING IN DECEMBER.  

BURWELL VADEN ESTABLISHED A SPECIAL JUNIOR SAILING AWARD IN MEMORY OF HIS WIFE POLLY VADEN, WHO DIED JUNE 26, 1999. THE AWARD INCLUDES A PERMANENT TROPHY TO BE KEPT AT RRYC. THE TROPHY IS ENGRAVED WITH THE NAME OF THE JUNIOR SAILOR WHO BEST MEETS THE CRITERIA FOR THE AWARD, AND IS PRESENTED AT THE RRYC ANNUAL MEETING IN NOVEMBER. THE RECIPIENT ALSO RECEIVES AN ENGRAVED AWARD TO KEEP.

CRITERIA FOR THE AWARD ARE SPORTSMANSHIP, LEADERSHIP, AND PARTICIPATION, AS WELL AS PROFICIENCY IN SAILING CLASSES, RACES, AND OTHER RELATED SAILING EVENTS. HELPING CHILDREN REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL WAS A GOAL ACTIVELY PURSUED BY POLLY, AND THIS AWARD IN HER MEMORY IS A MEANINGFUL WAY FOR US TO REMEMBER HER AND THE IDEALS SHE ESPOUSED.

BOYD WILL BE CAMPAIGNING FOR THE USODA NATIONAL TEAM THIS YEAR.  HE QUALIFIED TO TRY OUT FOR THE TEAM IN APRIL OF 2013 AT PEAWAUKEE YACHT CLUB IN WISCONSIN.  DETAILS CAN BE FOUND AT HTTP://WWW.TEAMTRIALS2013.COM.
