The Maiden Trophy

Police Athletic Association
Sailing Section
Ian Dodds  Maiden Trophy
Presented by Northumbria Police


This Trophy is  presented to the best overall position by a helm who has not previously won a trophy in the National Dinghy Sailing Championships.

Ian Dodds was a Northumbria Inspector who often used to sail his Mirror dinghy single-handed in Police regattas throughout the North. Cigarette smoke could often be seen rising from the hull while racing.

In 1980 Ian died while sailing his Laser during the Northumbria Police Open Regatta at Derwent Reservoir. His Force donated the Maiden Trophy the following year, in his memory.

The Lakeland Trophy

Presented to the first Retired Helm.

Due to the number of active police sailors who were retiring in the mid 80's, it was decided to create a special trophy to be competed for. The Lakeland Trophy was first presented in 1987 when the PAA Dinghy Championships were held at Ullswater, hosted by the Cumbria force. In reflection of the locality the trophy was made of the local slate.

The BPLSA Laser Champions Trophy

In 1979 the first National Police Laser competition was held under the banner of the then newly formed British Police Laser Sailing Association.

Originally held as a separate event at the end of the sailing year, the Laser Championship has now been incorporated to run alongside the PSUK National Dinghy Sailing Championships - in particular the first day and now entitled the 'PSUK Laser & Single-handed Sailing Championships'. The trophy remains presented to the first Laser Dinghy in that event.
