The Ned Hay Memorial
(Based on information supplied by Martha Safford & John Fox)
Edward N. Hay was a member of the Cape Ann Star fleet. He sailed with his
wife Doris Hay. Their last boat was 3110, Dody, and was
pictured in the 1954 North American Championship program in
an advertisement for Watts Sails. His management consultant
firm frequently placed advertising in the Log until his death
in 1958.
Ned Hay was the honorary chairman of 1954 of North Americans held by the
Cape Ann fleet. One of the nice touches of this North
Americans was the use of paintings as trophy prizes.
Soon after his death Doris Hay donated the Ned Hay Trophy which held its
first regatta in 1959. Another long-time Cape Ann fleet
member, Paul Woodbury, was the winner of this first regatta.
In 1987 Hilary Smart donated copies of a lithograph of boats in front
of the Sandy Bay Y.C. to be used as a prize for winning the
trophy. This print was used as one of the prizes in the 1954
North Americans. Martha Safford helped Hilary by getting
involved in choosing other art work as prizes for the Ned Hay
Memorial that year, and that is how the tradition of having
art work for prizes at the Ned Hay began. Later, Hilary Smart
donated his brother Paul's watercolors to be used for this
purpose, and Martha still has 20 of these left. Other noted
Rockport artists such as Arthur Knauth, a former Star sailor,
and Betty Lou Schlemm, have also donated prints.
