 The
Tilman Trophy is named after the famed adventurer, mountaineer,
explorer and author, Major Harold William (Bill) Tilman who
liked to sail somewhere remote and climb icy mountains.
The trophy provides a special incentive
and reward for older crews in slower yachts who do not
have a realistic chance of outright honours.
Eligible teams are those in the Main Monohull Division, Main Multihull Division
and the Cruising Division.
The Tilman Trophy was donated by the
British Three Peaks Race Committee and, as in Britain,
it is designed as an incentive for smaller yachts, older
crews and to generally reward teams which are less competitive
but are prepared to do their best. Points are awarded
according to the following table.
