J.J Morch Rose Bowl

First awarded in1981, the JJ Morch Rosebowl replaced the Janet Hurley Memorial Trophy which is missing.

Donated by the Morch family in memory of J.J. Morch, First Commodore of PCYC.

The Rose Bowl was owned by Jack Morch and his family from the early 1930s. It functioned as a rose bowl in the early 1940s when, during a re-silvering, the wire grate was lost. Subsequently the bowl served various decorative functions in PCYC’s first Commodore’s household. Re-silvered in 1980, the 50 year old bowl was presented to PCYC by Jack Morch’s son, John.

The J.J. Morch Rosebowl is awarded for PCYC’s Susan Hood Overnight Race, to the IOR boat with the best Overall results for the race.
