Well in our club its the lowest points score over the classes i won it a couple of times then gave up for the past few years not sailiing quite so much.
So the more you turn up and sail the more or less points you score making you the winner so in some way just turning up helps but at the end of the day the best sailor might not win it just the one who turns up the most

We have this as a club event - used to be a series, now one race, but it's hardly seen as the pinnacle.
But we did hold a rather special race one, a Frensham Champion of Champions. You had to have won a Nationals to be invited to sail. It was held in Access dinghies (we have sailability champions too, so fair's fair) For the record, Nick Craig and many other notables were lead home by Andy Shorrocks

At Hunts we have several nominated events which count towards the overall club championship.
It can be a case of whoever does these events but most of the top end sailors at the club tend to turn out. it does, most of the time, seem a fair representation of the talent and ability.

Er "they" are not like any normal humankind, if ever there were an example of an Alien life form (benevolent) having taken over a human, found it had made a mistake and gotten trapped in a stupid one, then, not knowing how to react when the genuine multi faceted versions show up, it's your typical Finn sailor out of it's natural environment. They adopt a slightly patronising grin, slink about hovering a couple of centimetres above the ground and are attended upon by even less intelligent drones, drink drones, that mix their beverages for them. They communicate by a strange mix of English and dribble, all the time they are on, or hovering just above terra firma. Only once they return to their craft, which is easily identifiable by it's metal conductor ariel, only then do they return to any form of higher functionality. They are a strange race, kind of Battlestar Gallactica gone mental, only the cylons won. I'm working on a language communicator, someone needs to be able to talk sense to them, if only to point out their metal communication device is a dead giveaway that they ain't proper sailors.. That Ben Ainslie fella, the Cylon, clearly proves my theory. Edited by iGRF - 10 Nov 12 at 11:11am |

The strange ones We are ......... easily to the bate we rise.... But the GRF until our language he works out will remain sadly unaware of the perfection of this fine young light craft (when compared to the Battle Star ... Sailing not of the galaxy type). Spotted our interstellar communicator he has but clearly also slow on the uptake is he ..... Years it'll take him to learn the finer arts of the Finnside. Bring on yodacobb!
Back to subject ..... Finn masters are rarely club champions because the handicap is so hard ![]() Edited by scotsfinn - 10 Nov 12 at 2:06pm |

Cylons ha gets them every time, pass me a blaster..
Club Champions we don't have them, wouldn't be fair to the travellers, wouldn't be fair to lots of folk to single any one sailor out. We have series winners in a couple of classes, don't think in thirty years I've ever won one. Edited by iGRF - 10 Nov 12 at 2:16pm |

We don't have a Club Champion. We do have a Yachtsman of the Year Award though - but that's for the member whose made the biggest prat of themselves (usually on the water). It's more fun than having a champion. We all know whose gone off with the biggest box of trophies - they do it every year.

Hi Peter
At lee that is called the flossy award and is awarded for services in the field! Past winners reasons have had to be cleaned up at the prize giving, but twice to much beer and curry the night before followed by long day in a dry suite, I will leave the result to your imagination. The mistake made of course was telling anybody. Cheers Gordon |
