Winners take home unique trophy

Winners in the British Yachting Awards will go home with a unique trophy made by historic chandler Davey & Co, as well as a bottle of award-winning Dartmouth Gin.

The British Yachting Awards take place every year as a celebration of the sailing world. The winners are decided by public vote. Voting has now closed and the winners will be revealed in our next issue, after being announced at a ceremony held at the Royal Thames Yacht Club in London on 28 November.

Davey, one of the UK’s oldest marine companies, will make personalised trophies for each of the 13 winners in the awards, which includes categories for the best boats, kit, clothing, sailors and more.

John Buckley of Davey & Co said: “We were delighted to be asked to be involved in this project. We considered it a wonderful opportunity to give something back to an industry that has supported us for the last 136 years. We are proud to be a part of these awards. Looking at the scope of the awards, from young sailors, through cruising and racing awards, we would like to wish both the winners, runners up and all involved fair winds and smooth passage in their future voyages.”

Davey & Co started in 1885, based in Leadenhall Street
