March 2011 – Georgetown University Sailing Award

I was approached by the head coach for the Georgetown University Varsity Sailing Team for a special memorial trophy.

These were his requirements

  • Boat – FJ or 420. No spinnaker or trapeze – we don’t have them in college sailing.
    Background – Healy Building at Georgetown – it’s our iconic structure on campus.  I’ve attached a photo.  Most important thing is the clock tower in the center.
  • Other items
    Georgetown Burgee or “G” logo or “Bulldog” logo somewhere on the trophy.
  • Plaque in center to read
    “John Jackson Memorial Team Race Regatta”

This is what I came up with.

Even the clock on the tower shows the specified time, 12 minutes past one.
