The WYC Commodore's Special Award

The Commodore’s Special Award was started by Bob Slocum to recognize help that he received in the years of low water at the yacht club.

This award is an adjunct to the Bail Bond Trophy, to be awarded by the commodore for special service to the club. It is not necessarily awarded every year, and is intended to be reserved for special occasions where an individual or group of individuals performs in an outstanding fashion.
