Club Champions

No, not angry at all - it is just that we already have winners of the series' - and the sailor with most wins often picks up a wheelbarrow full of trophies at the dinner dance, anyway. The idea that he or she (or they, of course, in a doublehander) needs another trophy seems wrong, and to have a separate event means that the person with all the trophies might not be "club Champ". As PM says, maybe better to celebrate real achievement at the club.

I suppose this is because we only have handicap racing.

In a club with fleets, I can see that you could have an Endeavour style event to decide on a champ - that would be fun.

Apologies if my previous post came over as grumpy - wasn't supposed to be.

We count overall results of all club PY race, excluding any with a turnout below a small threshold. One more than half to count over the main season(not winter series).
It works.
I think we have plenty of trophies at our club.
It's actually 'top helm', so you can count results from different boats.
If it encourages people to turn out to qualify, why would that be a bad thing?
Obviously making so many races count that it discourages going to open meetings would be wrong IMHO.

Imagine the joy, spraying lesser mortals with a super large litre bottle of Babycham, drinking from the solid silver trophy, laurels on the noble head, feted by the alternates, it brings a quiver to ones manly lips and a tear to the eye, add, perhaps a slave to whisper in your finely sculptured ear that you are not a yet a god. In reality at my previous it was settled by one long race, on two occasions i won it (fluke) and by the time I had put my boat away and got to the prize giving, the trophies had been presented, the big one was back in the cabinet and there was some token offering left behind the bar and everybody had b-----ed off

One day, 5 races, Pico sailing. The winner takes all!
