RQYS Powerboat Events

Tab through the months to see what’s coming up!

Goodwill Cup

The Goodwill Cup is the premier event of the Squadron’s Powerboat Championship Program and has been conducted annually since 1933. From 1962, the Goodwill Cup has involved competition with the Southport Yacht Club for the Goodwill Trophy.

The navigation event is generally held in the vicinity of Peel Island proceeding southward with an overnight anchorage at RQYS Canaipa. Part of the tradition of the Goodwill Cup involves the hospitality offered by the Commodore and Chairman of Powerboat Committee.

Presentation of Trophies is held at the conclusion of the Barbeque Breakfast held at RQYS Canaipa the following day. The Goodwill Cup donated by Dr J Bostock and Dr J Nye is currently presented to the winning Squadron Boat in Division 1.

Results for the Goodwill Trophy interclub competition are determined on the performance of the best (5) five boats from each Club in Displacement Division (Div 1) and the best two (2) in Planing Division (Div 2). Dr Nye also donated a trophy for the interclub competition – The Goodwill Trophy.
Tremendous inter-club camaraderie has been generated through the Navigation Event Program and the Goodwill Cup is perhaps the best example of the great boating spirit generated from such events.

Myora Cup

The Myora Cup follows a similar format to the Goodwill Cup with the event starting in the vicinity of the Myora Light and proceeding southward towards RQYS Canaipa where participants come ashore and enjoy a social evening. Only members of RQYS may enter this competition and it is a family friendly event. The following morning trophies are presented on the lawns at Canaipa.
