John Daniells Mentorship Award
Designed and fabricated by Steve Killing and donated in 2021. The large sail, representing the mentor in the relationship, is fabricated from an aluminum cut-off from the hull of John’s self-built sloop To Life. After his death, the aluminum was discovered behind his workshop and then milled to this shape. The smaller highly polished youth sail is made from new aluminum.
John Daniells was a metal fabricator by trade and put that skill toward building his fine sailboats. He was passionate about racing and shared that love with others, often inviting enthusiastic young sailors to crew on his boats. John was a founding member of MBSC (see John Daniells Remembers). He was made a Life Member of MBSC in 2007 and passed away in 2019.
