Regatta of the Year
The TSA Regatta of the Year award is presented annually at the final Youth Circuit event.
In 2003 a new trophy was created as the David B. Green PRO of the Year Award . It was designed by by John Focke with assistance from Jim Tichenor, both previous recipients. In John Focke’s own words: The new trophy incorporates teak, waves, and stone in symbolic reference to both the sport of sailing and the State of Texas. The deed for the award has changed over the years and is now presented each year as TSA Regatta of the Year.
