Commodore Hub E. Isaacks and O'Leary Trophies
Commodore Hub E. Isaacks and O'Leary Trophies are the main sailing trophies awarded at the Open Snipe World Championships. The Commodore Hub E. Isaacks Trophy is awarded to the fleet of the winning skipper,[1] while the O’Leary Trophy is awarded to the person who crews for the winning skipper in the majority of races sailed in the World Championships.[2] Finally, the Earl Elms Perpetual Trophy is awarded to the fleet of the winning skipper of the final race of the World Championship.
This competition is held every two years in the odd numbered years since 1949. Previously, it was held every year since 1934.
The Commodore Hub E. Isaacks Trophy is awarded since 1934 and it is the responsibility of the fleet of the winning skipper to see that the trophy is taken care of, guarded and returned to the place designated for the next competition, properly boxed for shipment with all duties and other charges paid by the Fleet. The name of the winning skipper, year, fleet and country shall be engraved at the winner’s expense in uniform engraving.[3] It is named after Hub E. Isaacs, of Dallas, Texas, first commodore of the Snipe Class International Racing Association (SCIRA), who donated the trophy.
The O'Leary Trophy is awarded since 1961 and it was donated by Cathy O’Leary y Helen O’Leary Hall.[4]
