Zarko Draganic Trophy
This Zarko Draganic perpetual trophy will be awarded for the Top Rookie owner at the Worlds - participating for the first time with the highest result. The Trophy has been donated to IM24CA by Zarko's friend and co-sailor, Chris Larson.
“Zarko Draganic was a passionate Corinthian Melges 24 sailor from San Francisco Ca. who competed in several Melges 24 Worlds Championships. His unique, kind demeanour made him a pleasure to be around, sail with and against. Zarko was happiest when he was on the water competing with his friends. He will be missed by all.” - Chris Larson -
The Trophy was first awarded at the Melges24 Worlds in Middelfart, Denmark in 2015.
