The Commodore Barthel Trophey

NA-Championships 1979

Changes Made to the Barthel Tri-Lakes Challenge in 2003.

Currently The Barthel Trophy is awarded to the winner of The Tri Lake Challenge, an every other year event. The Tri Lake Challenge consists of 3 premier distance races, the Bayview Mackinac, the Chicago Mackinac and the Trans Superior.

For those serious sailors who compete in the Chicago Mac, the Port Huron to Mac and the Trans Superior,
the boat with the best points overall will be the recipient of this prestigious new challenge trophy and title.
This is a new Great Lakes Challenge. So come on -- take the challenge!

Congratulations to 2007 Winner, Skipper Bud Siudara and the crew of Crazy Horse.

Barthel Trophy Winners

The Union has sponsored through the years races for the Barthel Trophy presented by Commodores O. F. Barthel, Detroit, George Orr Chicago, and T. K. Wade, Toronto, for competition in the Eight Metre Class with the expectation that it would be sailed for alternately on the three lakes, during the off years of the Y.R.U. Cup. However, this was prevented by the financial situation which prevailed in the thirties. Finally "Boat Racing" was substituted and excellent racing resulted for a number of years, Eight Metre Class being used on Lakes Ontario and Erie and the "Q" Class on Lake Michigan. There was no racing from 1954 to 1959 when races were revived in the Dragon Class.
