Women's North American Championship

 

Trophy: The Linda Tillman Women’s North American Championship Perpetual Trophy

 

This perpetual trophy was named for Linda Tillman to honor her memory as a first-place finisher on the racecourse as well as in our hearts. She was a mentor and friend and one of the most special people we've had the privilege of sailing with.
