Vice Commodore’s Cup weekend 2025

Vice Commodore’s Cup weekend 2025

On Saturday 14 June the Vice Commodore’s Cup for single handed boats was sailed in some very interesting weather. To say it rained is an understatement and the wind was very variable. Congratulations to Iain Millar in his Laser Radial for retaining the Laser cup. Unfortunately there were no Solos sailing so that cup was not awarded.

Sunday 15 June, in much more steady wind and without the heavy rain, saw double handed boats compete for the Vice Commodore’s cups for Mirrors and Enterprises. In total 3 Enterprises, 4 Mirrors, 1 RS Feva and 2 Laser 2000s were on the water. The wind was steady enough for the RS Feva and Laser 2000 to have a go at using their spinnakers. Charles Morrish with crew Dan Swaffield won the Enterprise Cup. Gerry Goodfellow with his son Lewis crewing for him won the Mirror Cup. Well done to Charles for retaining his trophy.

Below is a selection of photos from the weekend.

Commodore Mike Lewis opened the proceedings with a short speech of welcome to everybody including our new members and he presented Lorry Young with his RYA Long Service Award. This was given to Lorry for all that he does for the club and all of us appreciate the help he gives to all of us.
