100+ Trophy

This Challenge Trophy was presented by Clé Jeltes in 1985.

The large Trophy is one of Clé Jeltes‘s expertly handcrafted Flying Dutchman half-models .

It is a wooden – made structure representing a FD sailing by spinnaker.

In the past, this Challenge was called “75 + Trophy” and was awarded to the best team (with combined ages of 75 years or more), classified in
the European Championship (or European FD Week).

Now, it is awarded to the first Master team classified overall in the World Championship (combined ages of helmsman and crew over 100 years) .

Besides the Challenge, which passes to the new winner each year, the helmsman and crew receive small wooden replicas to keep.

Since 2008 the two replicas trophies awarded by the IFDCO President, Alberto Baranghi, to the winner, helsman and crew, are a hand made plexiglass coloured pictures, representing a FD sailing by spinnaker.
