LOSHRS Tarshish TrophyAwarded to the mono-hull yacht with the Best Elapsed Time in the Single Handed Fleet in the Long Distance Race.

Tarshish was a popular port of commerce in the Mediterranean from 1600 BC to 1900 BC.  The fastest sailing vessels of the ancient Phoenician traders carried wines and olive oils to Tarshish, lashed down on their decks in terracotta jugs known as “Amphora”.  The Tarshish trophy is a reproduction of an ancient amphora and was donated by PCYC Past Commodore Gordon K. Piller, who was instrumental in organizing this race in 1975. Since 1982, this trophy is being awarded to the winners of the Long Course.
