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

Goodwill Cup Navigation Event
The Goodwill Cup is the premier event of the Squadron’s Powerboat Championship Programme and has been conducted annually since 1933. Since 1962, the Goodwill Cup has involved competition with the Southport Yacht Club for the Goodwill Trophy.
The log event is generally held in the vicinity of Peel Island with an overnight anchorage at Deanbilla Bay. Part of the tradition of the Goodwill Cup involves the afternoon raftup and hospitality offered by the Commodore and Chairman of Powerboat Committee.
Presentation of Trophies is held at the conclusion of the Barbeque Breakfast on the beach at Horseshoe Bay and, if weather conditions do not suit Horseshoe Bay, the presentations will be held at RQYS Canaipa. 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.
