Scituate Sailing
The Richard P. Hopfner Award
The Richard P. Hopfner Award is given annually to recognize the effort of a boat, skipper or crew that embodies the spirit of Richard (“Dick”) Hophner and his love of the organization.
Dick was a long time member of the Scituate Sailing Fleet. In addition to his competitiveness on the race course, Dick is remembered fondly for his sportsmanship, volunteerism and general embodiment of the Corinthian spirit. Dick championed many efforts during his tenure, including our race circular and our original logo.
