William H. Picken Trophy
Awarded to the Midget Championship team with the highest place finish, the William H. Picken Trophy was donated by his family to honor him as a Past GSBYRA President 1937-1941. Each club is allowed to enter an unlimited number of teams. Female or male competitors cannot have reached their 16th birthday during the calendar year, and all members of the team must be members of the same Full Member Club. Originally GSBYRA used various boats, including Association owned Mobjacks from 1964-2004, before using the Club 420 with spinnaker and trapeze. This event is a feeder to the Middle Atlantic Championship for the Great South Bay Bowl, an event devised in 1955 and rotated among eight Regional Associations: Eastern Connecticut, Eastern Long Island, Great South Bay, Hudson River, Barnegat Bay, Chesapeake Bay, North Jersey, and South Jersey. Additionally this event is a feeder to the Midget Challenge. GSBYRA hosts the 2019 Middle Atlantic Midget Championship. (Revised 3/15/16, 3/2/17, 3/14/19)
* An asterisk denotes a winner of the Great South Bay Bowl.
