The Joseph P. Crosby Jr. Race Trophy
A brilliant red half model, The Joe Crosby Trophy is awarded annually
to the team that finishes first in the summer's Crew Race, a special event
where the only eligible skippers are regular crew members from the Marblehead
fleet. The trophy, donated by Bill Widnall, is given in honor of Joe Crosby,
a long-time Marblehead crew member who, during many years of tireless
service, epitomized the commitment and dedication that all skippers look
for in a crew.
