Commodore's Challenge

Commodore's Challenge and Summer Social

Wednesday 14 August

This year's Commodore's Challenge, to build and sail a Noodle Tug, attracted nine entries. After a [fairly chaotic] race around the buoys, and a close inspection by the Commodore of their artistic merit, John Berry declared that they were all of such high standard that he would declare a 9 way tie, and awarded prizes, chocolates, to all entrants.

Everybody enjoyed the experience and the bad weather held off long enough so that we managed to sail in the dry, although the heavens opened later on.

A feast of hot dogs in the Clubhouse afterwards finished off the evening, and thanks are due to Marion Lee and Pauline Barrett for superintending in the kitchen.
