  Qingdao, China (August 20, 2008) – USA Stars and Tornados sailed three races today in gorgeous weather. In eight to fifteen knots and sunshine they got their races started on time at 11:00 a.m. Unfortunately, the results were not so sunny for the two American boats. They were both unable to qualify for tomorrow’s top ten medal race, though John Dane III (Gulfport, Miss.) and Austin Sperry (Gulfport, Miss.) came just shy in eleventh place. |

 On Saturday, July 19, an important piece of history returns to Southern Yacht Club with the presentation of the new Lipton Trophy. Destroyed by fire following Hurricane Katrina, the original edition of this trophy - arguably the most influential trophy in the history of Gulf South yachting - was donated to SYC by Sir Thomas Lipton in 1919. In accordance with Sir Lipton's wishes, the trophy was dedicated for inter-club competition. This pursuit furthered the re-organization of the Gulf Yachting Association in 1920. The Lipton Tea Company, one of the world's most recognized brand names, generously pledged their support to have the trophy recreated by the original silversmith using the original specifications. It is truly a sight to behold! |
