In 1995 C. Thomas Clagett, Jr., commisioned the Ida Lewis Trophy to present to
the winner of the U.S. Junior Women’s Doublehanded Championship to
compliment the Nancy Leiter Clagett Trophy for the winner of the U.S, Junior
Women’s Singlehanded Championship.
The family continues Tom’s dedication and commitment to Junior Women’s sailing through C. Thomas Clagett Trust sponsorship of this clinic and regatta.
This support is intended to encourage young American women to enhance their sailing ability, with emphasis on sportsmanship, by providing the opportunity to compete in national-level competition with guidance from high-level coaching. The Ida Lewis Trophy is on display at the Ida Lewis Yacht Club and is maintained by the McLennan Family.
