Dedicated in 1941 to the memory of Auguste Capdevielle, this trophy is one
of the oldest and most prestigious in the Gulf Yachting Association.
Auguste Capdevielle served as Commodore-President of the GYA during the
years 1936 – 1939. He was also Commodore of the Southern Yacht Club, and
for many years served as SYC’s Race Committee Chairman. This is the 64th
year of competition between GYA clubs for this championship. There are
only two older competitions in the GYA – the Lipton (1920) and the Knost
(1938).
The
Capdevielle trophy and associated banner are presented to the winning
club, and awards are also presented to the second and third place clubs.
Any club that participates in all 16 Capdevielle Regattas will receive
special recognition. The awards for the 2005 Competition will be made at
the GYA Awards Banquet in January 2006.
