Blue Star Championships

DISTRICT 1 (ATLANTIC NORTHEAST)
ATLANTIC COAST CHAMPIONSHIP

The first time the 1st District Championship was held was in 1925. At the time it was called the Atlantic Coast Championship because the series was raced for by boats from the entire Atlantic seaboard. The original trophy was called the Pandora Trophy. From 1925 to 1927 the trophy was awarded to the boat having the highest score in the last three races of the World's Championship by entries representing fleets on the Atlantic seaboard. The winner of the first Championship was Adrian Iselin, in Ace, #202. Iselin was to win the Championship again in 1945, once again using Ace, #202.

In 1928 the World's Championship went to Newport Harbor, California. Because of this, beginning in 1928 the Atlantic Coast Championship was held as a separate event, sometimes as a three and sometimes as a five race series.

In 1929 the Pandora Trophy was retired because it was won for the third time by a C.L.I.S. entrant. (A rather quaint custom from the old days!) Frederick T. Bedford, also of the C.L.I.S., immediately donated a new perpetual Atlantic Coast Championship Trophy to be raced for starting in 1930. This has since become the 1st District Championship Trophy. Incidentally, this is the same Bedford who donated the Bedford Pitcher.

In 1948 the 2nd District began to have its own District Championship, and from that time on the 1st District alone raced for the Atlantic Coast Championship Trophy.
