Junior Ontario Championship Trophy

Derek Clay Single Handed Championship Trophy

The original Derek Clay trophy, donated by the past president of OMDA, was awarded annually to the winning skipper of a regatta held by the Burlington Sailing and Boating Club but was destroyed in the 1983 BS&BC clubhouse fire. It was replaced in 1985 and since then has been awarded to the winning skipper of the single handed regatta which has been renamed the Derek Clay Regatta.

Junior Single Handed Championship Trophy

Awarded to the winner of the junior single handed regatta.

B-Fleet Ranking Trophy

Awarded to the winner of the B-Fleet ranking table (The B-Fleet consists of those sailors who have never placed in any of the first three places of an international, national, or provincial championship, or of the annual OMDA ranking system).

Bill Olmsted Trophy

The trophy is in memory of Bill Olmsted who served many years as OMDA's treasurer. It may be awarded annually to any member or group of members in recognition of services rendered to, or on behalf of, OMDA, which are beyond that which would normally be expected. The selection of the recipient(s) is made by the President upon the recommendation of a subcommittee appointed for that purpose.

Vulcan Fireproof Trophy

This is a trophy made of a sheet steel model Mirror donated by the skipper of Vulcan M20744 after a fire had destroyed the Derek Clay Trophy. It is awarded annually to a member who has competed in, without winning, the Derek Clay Regatta, but who sailed a fair race and who has distinguished him/herself both on and off the water in OMDA activities since the previous Derek Clay Regatta.

Cherry Beach Challenge Trophy

This trophy was donated by the Cherry Beach Fleet after they ceased sailing a series of evening races. It used to be awarded to the skipper who combines the most points using the ranking system when sailing in the ranking regattas at Cherry Beach. More recently is has been awarded to the skipper in the best overall position from the first and last regattas of the season.

Junior Achievement Trophy

This trophy may be awarded annually to the most improved junior sailor or sailors.

Hands Across the Sea Trophy

This trophy was donated by Roy Partridge. It is awarded to the top ranked skipper under 25 in the A-Fleet, or if none, then the top ranked skipper under 25 in the B-Fleet, or if none there either, then not awarded at all.
