LARCHMONT YACHT CLUB

Larchmont race week concludes this weekend. The silver platter was awarded as first prize in class D to "Elmina" in 1902. This style of raised lettering on silver is one of my favorites. It measures 12" x 10"
The pewter mug, a trophy for the 30 foot class in 1896 won by "Mai" again awarded on july 25th , suggesting that it was also a trophy for race week.
The silver flask a trap shooting trophy awarded in february 1922. I am not sure the shooting still takes place. In the winter months, platforms were erected in front of the club house and competitors would shoot over the water.
