The Boston Teapot Trophy is an annual international award given to the sail training vessel that covers the greatest distance within a 124-hour period - 5 days and 4 hours.
[1] A vessel must have a waterline length exceeding 30 feet (9.14 m).
[2] The trophy was established in 1964 after a two-boat transat ‘race’ back to Europe from the US.
It was originally given for a more traditional yardstick – the greatest distance covered in 24 hours.
The sailing ship awarded the trophy keeps it on board for one year.
