Presented by Mr. Joseph B. Baker in 1951. The Board of Trustees, at the unanimous request of the Fishing Bay Penguin Fleet, to whom this trophy was initially entrusted, adopted requirements for competition and for perpetuation of the award identical to those prescribed by the deed of gift for the Henry E. Hutcheson, Jr. Memorial Trophy. In 1967, when the award class failed to have the required number of eligible yachts for two successive seasons, the award was changed by the Board to the Jet 14 Class. Windmill became the award class in 1971. Mobjack became the award class in 1975. Flying Scot became the award class in 2010. In 2023, the Trustees adopted the High Point scoring method to recognize members’ outstanding achievements in the Flying Scot class in FBYC sponsored events.
The Baker Bowl shall be awarded to the Flying Scot skipper who is a member of Fishing Bay Yacht Club with the best score as determined by the CBYRA High Point scoring formula in Fishing Bay Yacht Club sponsored Flying Scot events open to all skippers. To be eligible, a yacht must be enrolled in the Club Register, in the current award class and must sail in at least 50% of the eligible events sponsored by Fishing Bay Yacht Club in which the class has a start, a single race having the standing of a regatta or of a Club series counts as such.
