LOSSC retains the Turk Trophy

On the day of the Centenary Ball a team of single handed sailors represented the club and successfully retained the Turk trophy. Well Done to the team. The trophy , normally kept at the Town Hall for safe keeping, was presented with the presentation photograph that the club keeps until the next challenge. The team consisted of Jon Challis, Kim Clark, Andy Bray, Angela Carter, Martyn Clark and Martin Parvin who sailed in wind conditions that were officially described on the result sheets as Bl**dy Strong!

The Turk Trophy - History

In 1965 Gosport Borough Council decided it needed a New Town Hall, and tucked away in the back of a disused safe was found a trophy that had been there so many years that no-one could remember it. Anyway, investigations were made and the following information was obtained:
The trophy, a silver gilt chalice, was made in 1829 for the Portsmouth, and Gosport Regatta at an original cost of £50. Three yachts entered the first race from Southsea and the winner was a naval officer sailing a yacht named The Turk.
The trophy then disappeared for many years and it is believed it was used for races between the wherrymen who plied between Gosport and Portsmouth. It came to light again inscribed as The Turk Trophy in 1914 and placed in the Town Hall safe and forgotten once more until 1965 when the then Mayor, Councillor Cooley, decided it would be a good idea to allow the three sailing clubs of the town to compete for it under the title of the 'Mayor's Cup'.
Over the years since then the title has reverted to the Turk Trophy, perhaps because of its long association with Turktown (Gosport)
