Tim Parkman Perpetual Trophy

The Tim Parkman Perpetual Trophy

Awarded to the winner of the last race of the World Championship
(Up through 1971 the World's regatta was a 5 race series and this trophy was given to the winner of the 5th race. In the 1972 series the trophy was awarded to the winner of the 5th race, John Albrechtson, rather than winner of the 6th and last race, Willi Kuhweide. Since 1973 the winner of the 6th race is awarded this trophy.)

The Tim Parkman Perpetual Trophy is awarded to the winner of the sixth race of the World Championship. Tim was there for Phase One of the growth of the Class and stayed until it was time to usher in a new leadership team to take the class into Phase Two.

Tim was what we would call a working-class Officer, serving mostly in key administrative roles with quiet professionalism, never the vocal leader like Pop Correy and George Elder. Yet, they relied on him to support them in a variety of positions in the 1920s and 1930s. Tim served President Elder first as Class Secretary-in-Chief during the early years and later as the Class Treasurer. There are some that believe that Tim was also in the same Parkman family of Hungarian immigrants, Thomas and Joseph Parkman, that built more than 200 Star boats at Elderlee Yachts in the period 1928-1968; however, this is not confirmed.

On the water, Tim Parkman was known as both an able helmsman and a hard-working crew. He assumed both roles at several World Championships. However, he was perhaps most well-respected for two historic things. First, for two consecutive Worlds, Tim was involved in the extremely intense “sail-off” when two skippers were tied on points after the concluding race. Fortunately, after the second time when the trophy dinner and awards had to wait for the sail-off results, the Class finally adopted a derivative of the system we know today.

Secondly, and more dramatically, at the 1926 Cuba Cup (also called the “Little Internationals” at the time) Tim and his crew successfully survived a mega-squall and made it back to Havana harbor, barely avoiding the seawall in what was reported to be 80 knot winds.
