Classic Trophies Awarded to Dorade in 2022

Dorade owners Matt Brooks and Pam Rorke Levy were recently presented with three special trophies at the New York Yacht Club’s 2022 Prize-Giving. Dating back as early as 1853, the trophies were received for outstanding performance in multiple events, including the New York Yacht Club Annual Regatta, the New York Yacht Club Annual Cruise, and Race Week at Newport presented by Rolex.

Alpha Cup (1853)

ALPHA CUP

One of the oldest trophies in the New York Yacht Club’s collection, this piece was first awarded for the 1853 New York Yacht Club Annual Regatta by the yacht Alpha. The trophy was rededicated in 2020 in honor of the 175th Anniversary of the New York Yacht Club Race Committee. The Alpha Cup is to be awarded to a yacht enrolled in the Club that in the opinion of the Race Committee makes the best overall performance in a regatta or yearly series as designated each year by the Flag Officers. For the 2022 season, the Flag Officers chose the 166th Annual Cruise, and the Race Committee selected the winner to be Dorade.

Corinthian Trophy (1887)

CORINTHIAN TROPHY

Sterling silver; Gorham Mfg. Co., Providence

In 2006, the New York Yacht Club Board of Trustees approved the use of this three-handled Gorham trophy from its collection as the perpetual trophy for the winner of the New York Yacht Club Invitational Racing Series for Classic Yachts (results). In 2022, the series consisted of the 168th Annual Regatta, Race Week at Newport presented by Rolex, and the 43rd Annual Newport Classic Yacht Regatta. This trophy is known as the Corinthian Trophy to encourage the restoration of vintage and classic yachts, sustain the growth of the club’s classic fleet, and recognize those who race classic and vintage yachts.

Titania Cup (1889)

TITANIA CUP

Sterling silver; Tiffany & Co., New York

This cup was originally won by Titania, owned by C.O. Iselin, for a race on the 1889 New York Yacht Club Annual Cruise. It was given back to the Club at a later date. The trophy was placed in competition in 1987, to be awarded to the overall winner of the squadron runs in a class on the Annual Cruise.

“I was lucky: I had a goal. As far back as I can “I was lucky: I had a goal. As far back as I can remember I wanted to design fast boats,” writes Olin Stephens in the opening words of his autobiography, All This and Sailing Too, which we heartily recommend. Today you can read another take on Olin and his brother Rod in our latest blog post, at the link in our bio—a look back at the two-part feature story on the Stephen Brothers written by Morton M. Hunt for The New Yorker's September 1957 issue. In this excerpt, we pick up the story with the publication of Olin’s first design in Yachting magazine and the beginning of the partnership that became the pre-eminent yacht design firm of the mid-20th century, Sparkman & Stephens. A yacht named Dorade was soon to follow…
