2024 One-off Sailing Events » John and Mavis Trophy Races
From 2016 until the pandemic began in 2020, the annual Club programme included a race that was open to all members on the final Saturday of Training Week. If the weather conditions were suitable, there was also a race for the trainees. These races, the John and Mavis Harmer Trophy Races, were followed by the end of training barbecue.
This year the Spring training course ends on Saturday 1 June with the barbecue that evening. The John and Mavis Cup Races are taking place on Saturday 22 June.
The trainees' race will be open to novices and cadets. Novices and Cadets boats should display the striped tape (SI 2024 Addendum B). Boats so marked are to be given a wide berth by Member's boats; failure to keep clear will be penalised.
The format will be a Pursuit Race with both fleets starting in a single cycle ie each dinghy class being started at the same time regardless of which fleet, N&C or Member, it is racing in. The start times will be taken from the 2024 Pursuit Times table with 14:30 nominal start and, conditions permitting, a 90 minute race
High water is at 12:42
The bar will open after racing
The John Harmer Trophy will be awarded to the winner of the Members' fleet. The winner of the Trainees' fleet will be awarded the Mavis Harmer Trophy. The trophies were named in honour of John and Mavis Harmer (see here).
