Congratulations to Taylor Canfield who was announced the winner of the "Mac D" trophy, donated by Past Commodore John Jouett, for excellence in a junior sailing. Taylor had a great junior sailing career that was capped this past year by winning two Collegiate Championships, a North American Championship and achieving a ranking of 42 in the world among active match racers. Further congratulations to the over 50 other sailors that were recognized that evening. The "Mac D" award will be formaally presented at the Commodore's Ball .
