Commodore's Weekend Saturday Race
The Commodore entertained applications for reduced handicaps. The official adjustments were:-
| Category | Allowance |
|---|---|
| Inexperienced Helm | Start 5 minutes earlier |
| Junior Crew | Start 1 minute for each junior crew (<16) member |
| Helm/Crew in fancy dress | Apply to Commodore (on Volante) – max allowance 5 mins. Commodore’s decision is final! |
| New Member aboard: | Start 1 minute early for every new (in 2021) member aboard. |
| Handicap appeal: | The Commodore will entertain claims that the handicap is rubbish. Max allowance of 5 mins. Claimants will be expected to win or face a forfeit the following day. |
A surprising number of allowances were claimed and permitted - although the Sailing Sec notes with interest that the Handicap appeal was not used.
A claim for a verruca was disallowed, perhaps as well because the ailment had healed itself by the end of the race. A claim for a hip replacement was surprisingly awarded although the recipient did not make good his offer of showing the scar for a payment of £1.

& the End of Season Trophy goes to ...
A good turnout on a fine day gave close racing with occasionally challenging conditions for short handed crews. Pura Vida looked ahead on the water but corrected times show a different picture with Seventh Heaven taking Race 2 and the fleet close together for both races. Nevertheless, Pura Vida held on to pip Seventh Heaven to this year's September Cup.
Drum roll please ...
Tough day at the races ...
