Commodore's Challenge

 Commodore's Challenge

This year's Commodore's Challenge has just been published.

The Challenge this year is to build and sail a straight running boat to compete on a straight course from the landing stage, across the lake, to a fixed marker point. The boat must be built to a set of plans and rules drawn by Chris Galloway and available for download below.

No remote control of the boat is permitted. i.e. fixed throttle setting and rudder.

The winner will be the boat which comes closest to hitting the marker on the other side of the lake. The winner will be awarded the Commodore's Challenge Trophy.

If you need any further details, contact Chris Galloway [see Contacts page].

The competition sailing day is yet to be decided, but will not be before the middle of August.
