Portland area sailors, along with their friends and family, celebrated their accomplishments of the 2015 racing season during two recent awards banquets. The first, in late October, was SYSCO’s (Small Yacht Sailing Club of Oregon) Awards Party; followed by OCSA’s (Oregon Corinthian Sailing Association) annual Tropical Awards Party & Banquet just this weekend. By all accounts, the events were a rousing success with tall-tales shared, laughter aplenty, drinks flowing easily and great food. Awards were presented by OCSA, PYC (Portland Yacht Club), CYC (Corinthian Yacht Club), RCYC (Rose City Yacht Club) and SYSCO.
Congratulations go to the following 2015 trophy and first-place award recipients!
