A gift from the Stickney Family. Since 1971, this annual trophy is given to the winner of the KBYC Southeast Dinghy Championship.
In 1971 the Key Biscayne Yacht Club hosted its first Annual Southeast Dinghy Championship. Created as one of the first US National Championships in the Optimist class, the event has hosted over 4,000 sailors and their families from across the nation and further afield. Sailors ranging from 7 to 18 years of age (and some adults) compete in Club 420s, Lasers and Optimist Dinghies. Racing is held on the beautiful Biscayne Bay where the racing conditions are optimal and the weather sublime which makes for an excellent spectator event as well.
A note of historical interest: Taylor Larimore, whose family donated the Larimore Trophy, and Commodore Thomas J. Stickney, 25th Watch, were the visionaries who worked together in establishing the initial pram regattas. His son, Commodore Timothy (Tim) Stickney, 50th Watch, continued this tradition, and his family donated the Stickney Trophy. Around 1990, Tim recruited and mentored Commodore Hortensia Sampedro Hacker, 58th Watch to continue the SED tradition for over two decades, and her family donated the Corinthian Trophy in honor of the SED's 50th Anniversary. As a result, the Club now has a trio of significant trophies: a historically important trophy for the Overall Winner, a cherished trophy for the KBYC winner, and a meaningful Corinthian Trophy recognizing good sportsmanship.
The 53rd Annual Southeast Dinghy Championship will take place from September 26 - 28, 2025.
