The Outlaws were a class of yachts raced in 1916. The Club history book had this to say about them: “At the time of this writing, I can find no description or picture of them, either in Lloyd’s Register, the Club records or minutes, the archives of the New York Yacht Club, or old yachting magazines. No older members remember them.” The Outlaw Trophy was conceived as a cruising class race to a destination on Long Island Sound, with a return race back to Seawanhaka. Each year, the Race Committee and PHRF Racing Committee will determine the destination. In 2015 this series was started with races to Black Rock Yacht Club; in 2019 the race was from SCYC to American Yacht Club.

Named for his schooner, the Kiwassa, this cup was donated to our group by Dr. Henry Rusch in 1954. Its purpose is to encourage all members of Ladies Sailing to participate in a formal regatta in the position of skipper.  The current guidelines for the race are that it will be sailed in Sonars by members of the Ladies Sailing Association who have not previously won the Squaw or Kiwassa Cups, or a girls' or women's championship.

Originally won by yacht “Kathleen” at Seawanhaka Corinthian Yacht Club in 1889, now rededicated, in 1966, in memory of William Whitlock, owner of “Kathleen,” by Bache McEvers Whitlock.  The Kathleen Trophy is to be the permanent property of Seawanhaka, but it is respectfully requested that it be raced for, whenever feasible, in a series of team races between Seawanhaka Corinthian Yacht Club and the Southern Yacht Club of New Orleans.  Should said series ever cease, or prove unworkable, then Seawanhaka may do with the Kathleen Trophy as it sees fit.

Oral tradition is clear that this race was born during a Saturday night dance when a discourse took place in the Men’s Bar as to the relative speed of Seawanhaka’s S Boats contrasted with the new Victory Class. C. Sherman Hoyt upholding the merits of S Boat’s thereupon challenged the Victory protagonist to a match race around Stratford Shoal light and return with the start to take place upon the spot. The concept caught on and formal Stratford Shoal night races have been run more or less annually since. The first of these took place in 1920 on a clear night in the fall with fifteen starters. It was won by Pompano, a Fish Class boat sailed by Charles G. West Jr. Until comparatively recently it was open to all corners especially Club one-designs.

This is a qualifier for YRA of LIS PHRF Trophies & the Stratford Shoal Lighthouse Trophy. Guest moorings available on a first come, first served basis (516) 922-6305 for details & reservations.

The Cup dates from 1906 when it was presented to Cord Meyer by the then Commodore of the New York Yacht Club, Cornelius Vanderbilt.  In 1982 the family of Commodore Charles G. Meyer, grandson of Cord Meyer gave the Cup to become a permanent trophy for team racing competition between The Seawanhaka Corinthian Yacht Club and The Royal Northern and Clyde Yacht Club.

The Cup is named to recognize the Commodores who, over the years, forged a close relationship and keen sailing competition between the two clubs.  Notably they were: Clinton Crane, James Noyur, Ronald Teacher, James Robertson, George Dunlop, P. James Roosevelt and Charles G. Meyer.
