It’s a small world. The sailing Trophies business that is. Peter moved this year from West Australia to our club in Queensland. When I told him I had an order for trophies from Safety Bay he said, “That’s my old club. I used to sail a Windrush. Great little boats”.
The SB3 sports boat is a new and growing class in Australia. We love new classes because they don’t yet have any sailing trophies! So we’ve made quite a few for this class over the last couple of years.
This year the Australian states of Tasmania and Victoria were holding their inaugural SB3 titles. So we made SB3 perpetual sailing trophies with state maps in the background and the logo of the Australian distributor as well as the class sail insignia.
We make a lot of Optimist trophies which travel to all corners of the globe. These went to the International Optimist Association of South Australia. We often add the state or country as a background but in this case we decided against it as the outline of SA is boring. The customer agreed and she lives there!
So we went with the club burgee. Much better. They also grabbed some keeper trophies.
The O’pen BIC class is really starting to take off in Australia and we’ve made quite a few trophies for them.
