Jake, back when I raced Flying Scots, at the big regattas they always gave out trophys for:

1. Furthest Distance traveled to the regatta
2. Top Husband/Wife finish
3. Top Parent/child finish
4. Top Junior team (age 16 and younger)
5. Top Female Skipper
6. Top all Female crew
7. Top NEW sailor (first year or First Regatta if there were more than one)

ETC.

The point was, there were a lot of trophys and lots of people went away with one, and a smile, and lots of people came back next time.
