BUD WEISER TROPHY

TROPHY RETIRED 2022

Bud Weiser was one of the founders of the LLSC and sailed with us into his late 70’s. We started a race in his honor in 1985. The original “Cup” was actually a Miller’s quarter barrel that Peter Van Kampen had from his college days. We wrote Bud Wiser on the barrel, attached the top of an old sailing trophy and attempted to stamp the winners onto the aluminum. However that aluminum was way too hard so we ended up simply writing the names with black marker. Dave Asbach, who won this cup more times than anyone else, got tired of storing the quarter barrel and replaced it with a silver bowl and wooden stand which we continue to use.
