Roy Yamaguchi Memorial Trophy

Roy Yamaguchi Memorial Trophy is the sailing trophy awarded at the Women's Snipe World Championships. The Roy Yamaguchi Memorial Trophy is awarded to the winning skipper and her crew.[1] Another trophy, the Carmen Diaz Trophy, donated by Augie Diaz, is awarded to the highest placing Junior Women’s team at the Women’s World Championship.[2]

This competition is held every two years in the even numbered years since 1994.

The Roy Yamaguchi Memorial Trophy was donated by SCIRA Japan, and the responsibility for engraving, safeguarding and return of the Trophy to the following regatta rests with the winning skipper. It's named after Roy Yamaguchi, who was instrumental in organizing the Tokyo Bay Fleet, Japan’s first Snipe fleet, in 1956. He was also the first Japanese person to participate in the Open World Championship, in Cascais, Portugal, in 1957. In 1963, he died at the early age of 42.[3]

gollark: It's weird how it went from "of course you're not being spied on constantly, what a ridiculous conspiracy theory" to "of course you're being spied on constantly, who cares".
gollark: It's the government agencies you don't know about which you should worry about most, if they existed, which they of course do not.
gollark: The NSA isn't secret, their operations are.
gollark: The NSA is constrained by law they vaguely follow to not spy on US citizens that much, so they just offload it to other allied countries.
gollark: Like *that* matters.
