The WYC Boat of the Year Award
 The Boat of the Year Award was donated to
the Wayzata Yacht Club by Quiet World Sports in 1975. It is to award both
excellence in achieving first place finishes and a participation award for
sailing many races. It originally came from a time when the yacht club
only had a few fleets, and at the end of the year they took the two or
three leading skippers in each fleet and had a sail-off in Ensigns. As the
club grew, it became difficult to get borrowed boats, so the sail-off was
dropped and instead was given to the boat with the most first place
finishes during the season.
Starting in the 1993 season, the first
place finishes are weighted by the number of participants for that fleet
in each race, and is awarded to the boat that accumulates the most points.
