The Buzzards Bay Trophy is awarded to any PHRF-NE rating yacht which has the best combined score (Spinnaker and Non-Spinnaker divisions) in four of the following eight races:
  • New Bedford YC Whaler’s Race                 3 June 2023
  • Mattapoisett YC Spring RTB                       10 June 2023
  • Beverly YC Parker Converse Tower Race   29 July 2023

A yacht must race in at least four of the eight races to be eligible for the prize and must have a valid rating certificate for each race in which it competes. Each boat’s race score shall be her finish position score divided by the number of boats starting in her division. Each boat’s series score shall be the total of her four lowest race scores. The lowest total points wins. Yachts may choose to sail in either cruising division or racing division. A perpetual trophy will be awarded along with the Buzzards Bay Trophy. The perpetual trophy will be adorned with the burgee of each participating club.
