Trophy Notes
  • The Captain & Vice-Captain reserve the right to change the dates of trophy races, where possible, if weather requires a postponement
  • If more than two Mini-Series are run Inside, only the first two will be awarded trophies (as we don’t have any others!)
  • The John Dingley Cup will be awarded for the best overall score across three Mini-Series (allowing for one discard if four sailed).  N.B. This is based on the aggregated scores for each Mini Series – not the scores for each individual race in each Mini-Series
