Bengt Julin Trophy

The Bengt Julin Trophy is a unique trophy which is awarded to a competitor or a national team that has done most to foster international understanding and displaying attributes that should be encouraged in international competition at the Youth Worlds.

Sailors competing at the Youth Worlds vote for who they believe has demonstrated good sportsmanship, respect, graciousness, friendliness and endeavour.

Having been one of the founders of the World Youth Sailing Trust and a passionate ambassador for young sailors, Bengt Julin donated the trophy to the Youth Worlds in 1990.
