“This year’s recipient has received nominations for being a great mentor, a fountain of knowledge and a huge asset to the Club, but that is just the tip of the iceberg. “Louise continually demonstrates a passion for the sport, promoting high standards from lifelong experience. At every opportunity on and off the water, she generously offers encyclopedic knowledge, making it a pleasure to volunteer with her. “She is praised for striving to achieve the very best race management for the sailors, the volunteer race management team and of course our Club. Experienced in both national and international RO it is easy to see why Louise excels when regattas are held at RQYS.” n (Words by Jan Kemp and Guy Morton) TROPHY WINNERS Overall Most Improved Junior Skipper – T E Passey Trophy Mila Gan Most Consistent Junior Skipper – Trophy: Harold Dean Memorial Trophy James Dale Junior Sailor Best National Championship – Trophy: Vidgen Perpetual Cup Lucas Patrick Junior Sailor of the Year – Trophy: Lady Stonehaven Challenge Cup Joshua Dale Youth Sailor of the Year – Trophy: W A O’Hare Memorial Trophy Rory Meehan Squadron Champion of an Olympic Class – Trophy: Astra Trophy Phil Danks Longest Serving Season Points Winner – Trophy: The Governor’s Trophy David Healey Most Consistent Senior Skipper – Trophy: Callisto Cup David Healey Most Consistent Contributor – Trophy: Maurice Tilley Memorial Trophy P/Cdre Greg Clarke Spirit of Sailing – Trophy: Spirit of Sailing Trophy Hayden Barney Corinthian Yachtsman of the Year – Trophy: Corinthian Yachtsman Trophy No award Leading Forward Hand – P/Cdre Greg Clarke Trophy William Bridge Best Performing Female Crew – Trophy: Erica Blumson Trophy Ayla Barney Offshore Yacht of the Year – Trophy: James Clark Memorial Trophy FIKA Best Performance in an Olympic Class – Trophy: J H Robinson Memorial Trophy Mara Stransky Keelboat Crew of the Year – Trophy: E Sparkes Trophy GAUNTLET VOLUNTEER CONTRIBUTION AWARDS Member Facilities Volunteer Award Peter Constant Graham Early Arthur Gough David Healey Evan Johnston Mick Mallon Donna Paterson Noel Paterson David Thomas Special Contributor Award Nelly Bolton Paul Bolton P/Cdre Greg Clarke David Kemp Don Murray Phil Tooth Rod West Special Commendation Award Louise Bright Alan Crawford Michael James Beryl Roberts Cruising & Navigation Volunteer Award Jan Ralph Social Events Volunteer Award Trish Brewer Ian Thomason Ladies Skipper Award Jan Kemp Marine Sports Volunteer Award Anton Prange 24–25 • JUNIOR & SENIOR MAJOR SAILING & VOLUNTEER AWARDS RQYS SAILOR OF THE YEAR • DUNCAN HINE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW!
