Waitemata Yacht Squadron

AGM

If you take a look at your committee list you will see 2 new names there.  Welcome aboard Graeme King and Paul Simmonds (or as Mike commented, new blood to join the old clots).

Trophies were presented as follows:

  • Cruising Trophy (Trailer Yachts)  - not awarded
  • Cruising Trophy (keelers) - King Family “Lollipop” 567 n.mls
  • Head Trophy - David Hilliar
  • Racing Trophy - Phil Plimmer
  • Samaritan Trophy - Amy King

David Hilliar was awarded the Head Trophy for trying hard to light a gas stove with no gas attached.

Amy received the Samaritan Trophy for helping the crew of Chip Aweigh in 30-knot winds at Great Barrier over summer.

There was an interesting discussion about a possible name change and moving the annual picnic from December to February to hopefully find more settled conditions.
