| INFORMATION |
The
St.
John’s Yacht Club, also
known as Club Nautique
Saint-Jean, was incorporated on October
10, 1890 and joined the CCA approximately 1905. The club
hosted the national championships six times up until 1940
with what was believed by many to be the best course in
Canada, and left the association shortly thereafter. The
Black Trophy was donated to the organisation in 1928 to
be presented to the winners of the Junior Fours although
the club had attempted since 1925 to have the Black
Trophy presented to the overall Club Aggregate Champion.
The request was denied based on the fact that the CCA
championship was too high an honour for such a trophy.
The club survives today as Le
Nautique St-Jean and may have spent
some time known as the St.
John Boating Club, according to local
regatta programs from 1913. |
