Some of you might have noticed that the year book advertises that this coming Sunday that the first two races ( it\u2019s a 3 race day ) are for the Ladies Trophies. ( Interestingly the \u201cdeed of gift\u201d in the trophy book actually says best 2 results out of three. It also says the winner must be a member of the club. And it says \u201copen to all classes sailing 5 or more boats\u201d but we\u2019ll ignore that bit! )
\nPlural because we have two. One is for the first lady on handicap whether helm or crew. The other is the Lady Helmsman\u2019s trophy. ( that\u2019s what it\u2019s called ; note that it was presented in 1971 by Lorry Young and J Trumble. ) ( Which J I wonder?)
\nSo who is going to turn out to contest this silverware? There is no age limit so personally I fancy the chances of one MJ
\nMaybe newcomer Claire fancies her\u00a0chances if her boat will stay together? Will the last winner turn out? She bought a boat but sadly we haven\u2019t seen her. There are two Rodgerson ladies and two Enterprises in the family ; will we see them on a Sunday?
\nI strongly suspect at least one Enterprise will put in an appearance and my bet is on an all female crew to try and lift both trophies in the same boat. ( Well the crew crosses the line first so they must win surely?) Toppers are eligible so will a cadet lift the trophy? A 200? ( with a guest works jocky helm?) A 59er? A crew on a trapeze? There are endless possibilities.
\nSeriously if anyone wants to borrow a laser ( with a decent sail ) or even maybe an Enterprise see Mike S – he will be sailing his laser and hopes to see more than one or two of you on the start line.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
