Club Awards 2017
We are pleased to announce the results to the Club Awards 2017:
The CaptainŌĆÖs Trophy this year is awarded to Colin Lidster. Colin is always willing to give his time and expertise to help and assist numerous members of the Club.

JudgeŌĆÖs Report 2017
Following the Awards Night last Saturday, we are pleased to share the Judges report:
The McKendrick Cruising Cup... I award the McKendrick Cruising Cup for the most successful and instructive cruise to Mel Parish for his account of the cruise from New Zealand to the Austral Islands en-route to the Marquesas via the Roaring Forties with Colin Porteous on his Moody 54 ENDORPHIN. The Pacific is not mentioned often in the Club Year Book but when it is, with a good track chart and log notes (not to mention the Albatross) It makes excellent reading.
The McKendrick Cruising Cup Runner-Up Stephen Johnson is awarded the McKendrick Cruising Cup Runner-Up for his cruise from Brough to Shetland and Fair Isle with KARANA, his 25ft Hunter Delta. His log includes good instructive information on small, seldom visited harbours such as PaddyŌĆÖs Hole in the Tees, Fair Isle and Unst and useful notes about eating well after sailing. This cruise meshes in well with StephenŌĆÖs cruise of 2015 covering Brough to Cape Wrath, Kinlochbervie, Howth and Brixham amongst others.
The McKendrick Weekend Cup The McKendrick Weekend Cup is awarded to Louise and David Wright for their cruise to Wainfleet Haven and the Skegness Yacht Club with their Kelt 29 MIDNIGHT BLUE. Yes, I know IŌĆÖve knocked a day off the cruise to make it fit the rules but the first day was only down to Hull. Cruises to Wainfleet haven were commonplace many years ago but very seldom happen now. MIDNIGHT BLUE is perfect for the haven with a lifting keel though relief at actually getting there was commonplace as well, even without overhead cables. At least on the East Coast we still have endless creeks and havens to explore
The Bluebird Perpetual Challenge Trophy Andrew and Nicole How are awarded the Bluebird Perpetual Challenge Trophy for the log of their cruise with the 28ft. Dragonfly VEGA round the Brittany coast to the lie de Sein and the Chaussee. Most of us stand well off lighthouses and their history is not something that every skipper has on his bookshelf but every lighthouse has its own fascinating story to tell. Some took 20 years to build while Ar Men on the Chausee took between 18 and 34 hours per year for 6 years before the base was above tide level and the tower could be started. Something for us all to think about while sailing past a distant lighthouse.
