Nellie Guernsey, in addition to a brilliant professional career in mining, was a sailor, a racer, and a volunteer administrator at Halloween Yacht Club, present in the HYC on nearly a 40-hour per week basis for many years. After her death in 2011, the HYC Fall Race was renamed in her honor.

The Nellie Guernsey Memorial Race is conducted by HYC each September. It is open for all non-spinnaker boats, HYC members as well as others. All appropriate documents can be found on this page. Registration is free for HYC members, and $25.00 for the others, payable to Alex Henkin by check or via PayPal, to [email protected].
