The 61st Goodwill Cup Navigation Event was held on 5th and 6th November between RQYS and Southport Yacht Club. There was a total of 35 boats between both clubs, however on the day two withdrew due to mechanical issues while the rest of the fleet enjoyed the pleasant 15kn southeasterly conditions. The event started near Horseshoe Bay and went clockwise around Peel Island, finishing near Blakesley’s anchorage. The fleet then continued to Canaipa for Commodore’s drinks and dinner. Sunday morning was breakfast ashore organised by John and Merija Higgins aboard Harbor-Nating and the announcement of results. GPS 1st P/Cdre Denis Land, North Light (RQYS) 10 points 2nd Todd Brooker, Mia (SYC) 13 points 3rd P/Cdre Ken Tregeagle, Babe II (SYC) 20 points Traditional 1st Steve Manchester, Bell Tempo (SYC) 25 Points 2nd Craig Black, Odyssey (RQYS) 80 points 3rd Stephen O’Brien, September Song (RQYS) 125 points The winning overall club with the lowest combined points score was SYC.
