Silverware a plenty was handed out at the RBYC Annual Prize-giving, and although I wasn’t there I can assume that advantage was taken of the free cocktails beforehand. New Wave won the Overall Prize for the year, with Sadiiqi and Gripper in chasing position.Then on to Fourways Inn for a truly legendary party - Phil was DJ, John did the speeches, the police closed it down in the early hours, and once again strange dancing took place. Thanks to Becky for organising a fab event, and decorating up a storm - sails, and flags, and drunken sailors.One highlight was the emotional kiss and make up between Solaise and Jezebell - there wasn’t a dry eye in the house, or an empty glass, or something. Navigators awards went to New Wave and Erin for all the government marks they’d hit this year.

Very strong winds blew out Nationals this year - there was no make up day so the trophy was not awarded. Next year a make up day is scheduled in case of poor weather. Worlds qualifiers will now revert to the Championship Series.
