For the past 13 years, I ran an organization called the Eastchester Bay Yacht Racing Association (a/k/a EBYRA -- see www.EBYRA.COM).
For the awards, we would go with cups, dishes, sailboats, spyglasses, etc…. Basically anything that was "different" than years past and in which comes in three-four different sizes totaling $100-$150 per division. We use a guy on Long Island who has great prices (Long Island Awards Gallery in Syosset, NY). We also have, for each division, a large perpetual award which each year's first place boat gets their name engraved on it and they get to keep it for a year. We also have perpetual awards for participation with a few different criteria and a bronze banana award for crew performance (For the gorillas on foredeck usually). All the best, Edd Edd M.
