Nash & Jones Trophy Information: US Sailing has mandated that all qualifiers for the Bemis( double-handed junior championship) and the Symthe (single-handed junior championship) be done at the Area level (in our case Area A). This is what many of the other districts around the country do already. So to qualify for the Bemis or Symthe this year, the best junior boats at the Area As get to go. That is the same as last year. The change is that anyone can go to the Area As (you don't have to qualify through a local sailing association regattas like the Nash or Jones). SMSA decided to award the Nash and Jones trophies to the best finishing SMSA boats at the Area A regatta

Hyannis gain entrance through the “wild card.” Each of the four Sailing Associations in Area A (SMSA, NBYA, Mass Bay, and NESA) get two automatic slots in the Area A event, but if one or more Sailing Associations does not use their slots, the openings is made available to other interested clubs. File this information away for next summer. The SMSA Cummings Cup will be sailed in Pleasant Bay at the end of June 2012. Clubs that are interested in qualifying for the Area A event should watch the SMSA website and join the SMSA e-mail list (see below) in order to stay informed over the winter.
