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 a Pursuit-format race conducted by HYC each September. It is open for all non-spinnaker boats, HYC members as well as others.
