Congratulations to Faustina X for a stunning performance at the Melmore Rally, winning the IRC race to the bar and taking the coveted Commodores Examination prize………………… showing just what having three "Yachtmasters" and two astute ladies on board can achieve!

Special mention to Magic Spell for winning the Club race to the bar and for an impressive welcome for the Commodore – not only the suits, but an extensive array of sugary concoctions – the adjudicating panel accepted that this was not an inducement aimed at the younger members of the visiting party!

Thanks go to all boats for the warm welcome and hospitality extended to the Commodore’s family on the evening.
