It is pleasing to report that your SACS Crew was successful
this year, in regaining the Tri Challenge Trophy &
in holding off a determined challenge (well that’s
what I believed it was, in the somewhat gloomy evening
sailing conditions!) from a combined RBHS / BISHOPS crewed
yacht – thanks largely to the skilful positioning
by our skipper Des Lord of our yacht in just the right
spot at the start of the regatta & then in keeping
us ahead throughout the race. Well done to Des & to
Ian Calvert too who expertly trimmed the sails & kept
the rest of the crew on their toes & also to our OBU
visitor from Sydney, Howard Davy, who was the self - proclaimed
unbiased match race official(!?); & the evening’s
official photographer.
A big thank you to our stalwart Des Lord who again organised
all things nautical & to all the others who participated
– to the crew + spectators + supporters & also
to those who expressed their support but were unable to
make it down to the RPYC on the night – it was a
very pleasant evening, sharing good fellowship with representatives
from our 3 respective Alma Maters & was thoroughly
enjoyed by all.
See you all at the Tri Challenge 4 Regatta – next
year!
UP SACS.
