AWARDS & ACHIEVEMENTS
Each summer, the BTB instructors select one person as the “Sailor of the Summer.” The award recognises a sailor whose dedication, growth in confidence, and improvement in sailing skills set them apart. The winner’s name is engraved on the Indian Head Bowl, the gift of Nigel and Judy MacEwan, and the winner retains the bowl until the end of the following season.
Throughout each season, the Dudley Awards are presented to individuals who have distinguished themselves in some fashion. The awards recognise both the serious accomplishments of individual sailors, and some of the more frivolous.
2025 Dudley Awards
The Dudley Awards, sponsored by Dudley Ladd, recognize members whose passion for the ocean, sailing and seamanship skills show great potential (and may go unnoticed by some).
2025 Sailor of the Summer: Weston Engstrom
2025 Dudley Award Winners: Asher Siswick, Tristan Mueller, Maeve Wu, Isla Wu, Lincoln Wu, Bennet Hines, Holden Tirschwell, Eifion Nelson, Ellie Bigelow
