Catamaran themed trophies.

Post by Jaycb »

Hi all,
Does anyone know of companies that sell catamaran-themed trophies please? I've looked at loads of websites but everything I've found is cheap and mass produced - am after something a bit pricier/classier (maybe £300 'ish) for a perpetual series award. Would need plenty of room for many years' worth of engraving.
Thanks.
J.

I am afraid they are notoriously difficult to find. I have tried several times over the years to find decent (or indeed any) cat trophies to fill gaps in our line up or add new prizes. Like you, I have spent hours trawling the internet and no real joy. The only ones out there seem to be Hobies or occasionally F18 shaped (usually from the other side of the world) which does not relate to a Dart 15 and also not designed as a decent perpetual one.

I now don't spend too much time on it - and just go for traditional trophy cups or silver salvers instead.

At that price range - you could see if a company will create a bespoke one. Our budget has never stretched to that.

Thanks Jenny. I know of a local silversmith so will ask her.
