The Ted Bodde Trophy was donated to perpetuate the memory of Ted Bodde, an ardent sailor and outstanding gentleman.  Ted Bodde contributed greatly in a quiet and unassuming way to the success of the Frostbite Yacht Club.  The trophy is to be awarded annually, if there is an appropriate recipient, by the Frostbite Board of Governors to a member of the Frostbite Yacht Club who has made an outstanding contribution to frostbiting in the quiet and unassuming way of Ted Bodde.  The recipient must have contributed well above the call of duty putting service above self.  Under no circumstances shall the award be made to rest upon the results of a race or series of races.
