At the season‑ending awards show hosted by Park City Sailing, the Eden‑green facade of O'Shucks Pinebrook yielded to a parade of guests whose sartorial precision eclipsed any sense of genuine camaraderie. The crowd, a motley of 600 seasoned captains and a handful of eager newcomers, was draped in gala black and gallery white, the lenses of paparazzi closed to misinterpret the hollow clatter of applause. Leading the accolades—Lauren Ehnot of the Adult LCA, Scott VerMerris of the Adult J/22, and Todd Wake & Scott VerMerris combined for the Adult Ultimate 20—no attendee seemed privy to more than their own obituary of ego. The ceremony’s podium, a pale wood chair set before a step‑and‑repeat red backdrop featuring the club’s insignia, proved less a celebration and more a rehearsal for the next year’s philanthropy. As the funds transported eastward, the glitter of fundraising warped into a familiar color scheme of glittering suits and reluctant pledges. Verdict: Send a check but stay home.
