Part of the Commodores responsibility is to create new Frolyc trophies for each boat that participates in the regatta. Designs may not be repeated from a prior year.

A bit of Dunewood lore: This banner was presented to Murray & Lillian Barbash by the Lonelyville contingent at their annual Labor Day party many, many years ago…possibly 1969. Lonelyville would always prepare some kind of song and presentation …they would arrive en masse at about 11:30pm. — at Bay Walk, Dunewood Fire Island.
