Topaz Trophy

Awarded annually to the East Greenwich Yacht Club boat with the best corrected time in the Cuttyhunk Race. The Topaz Trophy was donated by a group of East Greenwich Yacht Club members in memory of Edward J. Monohan who lost his life in an unfortunate boating accident in the summer of 1965. In July, that year, Ed had won second in Class "A" and fifth in Fleet with "Topaz" in the race to Cutyhunk.
