We had another beautiful day and weather conditions on Saturday for the Graeme Hood Memorial Trophy Time Trial. We had 22 boats out on the water across 2 fleets following course 413.

Prior to the results for the Graeme Hood Memoria Trophy, we presented the flags and the Pelican Trophy from last week’s time trial as this was also incorporated with State Heat #5 with Ophelia and Lailah Beck presenting the flags and Pelican Trophy to the winners.

1st Place and Trophy Winners – The Dolphin – Jason Claricoates and Caroline James

2nd Place – The Pickeld Tickle – Mark Hayman and Kim Huraszko

3rd Place – Thanet – Guy Skinner and Fiona Lyons

Graeme’s Family where in the bar to present the memorial trophy and Matthew reminded us of the importance of getting things checked if something doesn’t feel right, especially when it comes to your health. Graeme passed away of Bowel cancer, and Matthew did remind us of the love and involvement Graeme had for the club, and how he was quite close to Conor Nicholas who is currently competing in the Olympics along with fellow member and teammate Nia Jerwood. John and Lynne Cooper on Purrfect took out the Graeme Hood Memorial Trophy with least points lost and a score of just 5 points lost over the course.
