Corinthian Sailing Club
Champions
Maurice Martin Trophy
The
Maurice Martin Trophy is presented to the winner of the club championship
regatta each year at the Awards Banquet.
The Corinthian Sailing Club pays tribute each year
to one of the local wooden boat builders - Maurice Martin. In 1960,
Commodore Bednar donated a trophy for the CSC champion commemorating
Martin who had died the prior year. (See deed of gift below.) He
was a charter member of CSC and had built many of the Snipes and
Lightnings on the lake. The 1951 photo shows Martin and his son
in their Lightning.
The club championship was originally conducted as the Maurice Martin
Memorial Handicap Series. In 1966, the format was changed to a regatta
at the end of the racing season to help stimulate greater club interest.
It was a weekend of all-out club racing to determine the CSC champion.
Three races were scheduled on Saturday and two on Sunday. Fleet
champions (one from each fleet) competed against one another in
various fleet boats, changing boats for each new race. Non-fleet
contenders were determined by handicap races run along with the
normal fleet races. The championship then changed to a single boat
format. The boat type was rotated year to year. In the mid-1990s,
we started using a Portsmouth handicap allowing each club member
to sail their own boats.

The Martin Trophy
The Martin Trophy is presented to the Corinthian
Sailing Club of Dallas in honor of J. Maurice Martin, the boat
builder and charter member of the club.
This trophy is to be presented annually to the champion
of the club. Each recipient is to retain the trophy for one year
and is expected to have his name and the year of the presentation
engrave on the name plate. Each recipient shall have the honor
of presenting the trophy to his successor.
The first recipient who is to hold the trophy through
1960 and have his name engrave on the name plat is Jan Arps. The
donor of the trophy request that he serve as chairman of a committee
to recommend a method by which the club championship shall be
determined in the future years. Other members who are requested
to serve on this committee are Captain Harold Boss, Captain Largent
Parks, Captain Dale Selzer, and Captain Kieth Young. The committee
shall be free to enlarge its membership to include other boat
representation as it deems necessary.
This trophy is presented to the club with the hope
that a suitable small trophy will be presented by the club each
year to remain in the permanent possession of each recipient.
The only other restriction the donor wishes to impose
is that in the event that a club champion cannot be determined
by racing, a champion be named by a suitable committee appointed
for that purpose.
W. C. Bandar, Commodore
March 15, 1960
