Boston Teapot Trophy
Script error: No such module "Infobox".Template:Template otherScript error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". The Boston Teapot Trophy is an annual international award given to the sail training vessel that covers the greatest distance under sail within a 124-hour period - 5 days and 4 hours. A vessel must have a waterline length exceeding 30 feet (9.14 m) with a majority of the crew under 25 years of age.[1][2]
The race was first established in 1964 by the Sail Training Association (STA) after a two-boat ‘race’ back to Europe from the US following OpSail 1964. It was originally structured for a more traditional yardstick, the greatest distance covered in 24 hours, won by the Italian yacht Corsaro II, under the command of 1952 Olympics sailing gold medalist Agostino Straulino. It was later expanded to 124 hours to create a more challenging race dependent on the skill of the crew to maintain speed rather than simply stumbling into a short term gust of wind.[3]
The teapot now recognized as the trophy was sponsored by Brooke Bond Tea Ltd. Prince Philip was an early patron of STA and its then biennial Tall Ships Races. He presented the first perpetual trophy to CF Ricardo Franke, Captain of ARA Libertad, in 1966. Libertad travelled Script error: No such module "convert". for an average of Script error: No such module "convert"., a record she would hold for 24 years until broken by Kaiwo Maru in 1990.[4]
In 2016, Captain Marcus Seidl set the Guinness World Record aboard Statsraad Lehmkuhl, with an average speed of Script error: No such module "convert"., running a total of Script error: No such module "convert".. During that run, she saw a high speed of Script error: No such module "convert"..[5][6] Overall, Statsraad Lehmkuhl has taken home the trophy a total of 9 times, matching ARA Libertad and second to Juan Sebastián de Elcano with 10 wins. Kaiwo Maru previously held the speed record with Script error: No such module "convert". travelled at an average speed of Script error: No such module "convert"..[2]
The trophy is a replica of a simple drum-shaped silver tea pot now found at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.[7] Made in 1782 by noted silversmith Paul Revere, best known for his midnight ride immortalized by Longfellow, it is one of six known surving samples of this style made by him.[8] Original teapots by Paul Revere of this style are now worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.[9]
The replica trophy is approximately Script error: No such module "convert". high and Script error: No such module "convert". in diameter with an additional silver base engraved with "The Boston Teapot",[10] and housed in a custom protective wooden box, 40cm x 40cm x 20cm (16in x 16in x 8 in), with a blue velvet lining.[11]
The trophy is currently presented to the winning ship by Sail Training International at their International Sail Training and Tall Ships Conference held in November of each year. The winning ship keeps the trophy for the year.[12]
