Congratulations to the 2008 winner, Jason Werner!

A new award was established, beginning in the 2008 season, for the skipper and crew that sailed in the largest number of Purnell Cup Regattas.  We're calling it the Dixie District Road Warrior award.  Congratulations to Trevor Prior, who sailed in 6 of the 7 Purnell Cup Regattas!
