SPECIAL TROPHIES
Wolter Huisman Memorial Spirit of the Bucket Trophy – WAVELENGTH
This award is presented each year by Alice Huisman, to the yacht that best exemplifies the spirit of the Bucket Regattas. The selection is absolutely subjective, but considers sportsmanship, safe seamanship, best hospitality and overall contribution to the event.
The Bucket Regatta was really started as a Club of yacht owners who loved nothing more than sailing their yachts well, getting the best out of them, and then sharing great yarns and libation at the end of the day. There are a group of owners who have contributed a lot to the event over the years, from tenders to parties, committee boats, etc. It is this Spirit that sets this event apart from all others. It is in recognition of this Spirit that the Wolter Huisman Memorial Trophy is awarded.
Perini Navi Cup – ROSEHEARTY
Perini-Navi Yacht with the best result.
The Golden Pineapple Award, Presented by Rybovich – ROSEHEARTY
The Golden Pineapple Award was introduced at the 2014 edition of the St Barths Bucket. It recognizes and rewards an essential element of the event, who will WIN THE PARTY? Since the very beginning, the Bucket Regattas have been fully focused on sharing the boundless fun of this magnificent sport, with hospitality among the fleet a core value. Hence, the Pineapple Logo, the symbol of hospitality. Therefore, the yacht that puts forward the best “Open Boat” party spirit will be the recipient of the Golden Pineapple Award.
All Star Crew Award presented by Holland Jachtbouw – ELENA OF LONDON
At each Bucket Event, every yacht is asked to cast a ballot for the yacht crew among the fleet that demonstrates the most professional service in all tasks, while maintaining the best voie de vivre, camaraderie, teamwork and respect among the crew. This is the crew that displays the pinnacle of the profession and has the most fun at it — the yacht that everyone wants to work aboard. Because the award is earned by peer recognition, it has earned serious stature within the marine industry.
