HERSCHEL M. BROWNE MEMORIAL TROPHY

Herschel Browne sailed in the first East Coast sponsored El Toro nationals, held in 1972 at Gunston Cove on the Potomac River. 72 toros were in attendance. He was the only person to be Commodore of both the National Yacht Club and the Potomac River Sailing Association. The trophy is awarded for the best performance in a series of 4 regattas during the season, however in recent years we've only sailed 3 regattas each season, so no one has qualified for it.
