12-meter trophy

"BRISTOL — Bristol resident and ships carpenter Jerome Mello has helped build a trophy that will be awarded to the winner of the 12-Meter World Class Championships in Newport this September. Mr. Mello fashioned a wooden base that supports a copper pewter cup, using pieces of wood from six 12-meter yachts of the Traditional Class. It will be called The Kennedy Cup, named after its sponsor, U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy."
