Benz Faget wins third Mallory Trophy
FORT WORTH, Tx. - SYC's Benz Faget won his third Mallory Trophy at Fort Worth Boat Club on Eagle Mountain Lake. The US Adult Championship for the Clifford D. Mallory Trophy is US Sailing's premier fleet racing championship.
Faget previously won the trophy in 1994 and 1999. To win three times is a tribute to Faget's sailing skill and comes as no surprise to those who know him at SYC. The event was contested in J/22s, the class in which Faget won the Midwinters at SYC earlier this year with the same crew of Devon Sweeney and Randall Richmond. Again we at SYC congratulate him on this fantastic achievement.
