The Bemis Sportsmanship Trophy
The Bemis Sportsmanship Trophy is dedicated to the doublehanded junior national championships. The Inter-Lake Yachtsmen's Fund, the charitable arm of US SAILING's Area E RSA Inter-Lake Yachting Association donated this new trophy in 2003 to recognize outstanding sportsmanship among Junior doublehanded competitors. In the past a single sportsmanship trophy, the Gardner-Cox Trophy, was awarded for three Junior Championships, even though the three events were often sailed at two different venues. Now each of the Junior Championships has its own sportsmanship award.
