The Stanley Ogilvy Trophy

Awarded to the third place team at the World Championship

The Stanley Ogilvy Trophy is presented to the third place finisher at the World Championship. The relevance of this relates to the two times Stan finished third place in 1949 and 1951 Worlds in Chicago and Gibson Island. Beyond that, Stan’s seven decades of devotion to the Star Class makes him a legend, in this elite class and beyond. A renaissance Scholar/Sailor, Stan was a career-long college Mathematics Professor and subject author. Stan also put his writing skills to work and authored many books on sailing strategy and tactics, starting in 1952 with "Successful Yacht Racing."  In 1957, his ground-breaking "Thoughts on Small Boat Racing" set a foundation and tone that "broke the ice" for many publications that came from other experts thereafter.

His "Win More Sailboat Races" debuted in 1976 and became the small keel boat bible for many in that era, along with a few other classics. While Ogilvy’s tactical and mathematical mind was always at work, the cover sub-title noted,” The Techniques, Tactics, and Skills Needed to Win Without Losing the Joy of Sailing."  Such was Stuart's life approach and demeanor, both on and off the racecourse that he brought to the Stars. 

Stan served as a Member of the Governing Committee and as Class Vice President, but most importantly he became editor of the Class Newsletter,  Starlights,  and the yearbook, The Log, a post he held with pride and consummate skills for 40 years. His “History of the Star Class” is a veritable reference bible for the Star boat family.

Stan was gentleman and a scholar, athlete, and sailor, teacher and mentor, provocateur and friend. He brought these skills to the world, and especially the Star Class, as his true labor of love over seventy years. And Class President Bill Parks said it best, in his honor in 2000, “A first class yachtsman and sportsman. He was honest and forthright to a fault and stood for the absolute best that we strived for. A great loss for yachting and our wonderful Star Class.”
